The control by the FRB can be "repudiated." Handling the federal debt is yet another issue. The ongoing entitlement programs are not likely to be appropriately managed by politicians. Short sighted politicians seek to enrich themselves through both power and fiscal means at the sacrifice of the populace. The current phase of reduction of federal debt is doomed by politicians who care only about themselves. This short term approach is one reason why career politicians should not be allowed. Although no idea is perfect, the chance of an increased number of statesmen who want to help our country would be better in a society without career politicians.
