It's funny to me how the Fed is able to screw people over financially because most people wont dig into something complicated even something as important as money.

It's really simple if you take away all the complexities:

Jerome, the Fed Chairman wants 100 billion for whatever. He tells the US mint to print the 100 billion and uses the money for whatever he wants.

Some regular guy tries to do this and they get sent to prison (That's illegal!)

Sound fair? Makes sense?
