The Fed is the most powerful part of Government that is not elected. Federal Reserve Chariman Bernanke is a wicked smart guy who could make a ton more money if he played the financial game rather than serve as the Dungeon Master, hence he's not out to make a quick buck. The problem is Congress.
A bad Congressman has only 2 years to make a quick buck, shmooze with some corrupt businessmen, then land a job in the private sector -- hence they have no real stake in the outcome of government. Good congressmen have a lifetime of reelections to think of, making them just as fickle as a bad legislator in their search for campaign funding.
To top it off, when people elect uneducated, cronyist neanderthals who pander to every partisan pulpit point, we do not have a proper representation of The People's interests. We need more people like the Fed Chairman and less like the scum sitting in on Capitol hill.
