Regulator and Supervisor

The Federal Reserve Board has regulatory and supervisory responsibilities over banks. This includes monitoring banks that are members of the system, the international banking facilities in the U.S., the foreign activities of member banks and the U.S. activities of foreign-owned banks. The Fed also helps to ensure that banks act in the public's interest by helping to develop federal laws governing consumer credit. Examples are the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and the Truth in Savings Act. In short, the Federal Reserve Board acts as the policeman for banking activities within the U.S. and abroad.

And so where in your quote would you point to that makes your argument that The Fed is a government agency?

being a regulatory agency that has the president appoint and congress approve its members.

 

What is your argument on this? What are you saying the fed is?

The Fed is very similar to FINRA which also is a regulatory agency. It is a self regulatory self funded corporation not part of the US government though it's members are not appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. SIPC members however are appointed by the President and approved by the Senate but is a non-profit MEMBER funded US CORPORATION. There are many more examples of this.

 

 

And this from wiki: Can you give up your futile campaign now?

 

The Fed considers the Federal Reserve System "an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by the Congress, and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms."[21]

Are you actually suggesting that the Federal Reserve is simply a private corporation?

It didn't say anything that you stated. It didn't even imply it. Why did you even link to it?

Can't even remember now. Gees, you guys are all over the place!

 

Lol, at least you haven't came out and said it wasn't a federal agency because that would be stupid!

 

B-)

Nope. Try again.

Ok!! Who appoints people to that regulatory body you brought up? Bet its not the president!

I already told you the President does not appoint members to FINRA. But is it a US corporation. I used that example to shoot down your point that if it's a regulatory body it's part of the government. I then brought up SIPC to show that a entity that has members appointed by the President can ALSO be a US corporation.

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC /ˈsɪpɨk/) is a federally mandated, non-profit, member-funded, United States corporation created under the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) of 1970[1] and mandates membership of most US-registered broker-dealers.

 

 

"SIPC is led by seven directors, some appointed by the President of the United States
