The Fed Exception never really sits right with anyone who thinks about it deeply.



But here's a angle that doesn't get enough attention: when the Fed sets rates by trading government securities, isn't that essentially fiscal policy in disguise? And if so, shouldn't that authority belong to Congress under the Constitution? The line between monetary and fiscal policy gets blurry when you're literally buying and selling sovereign debt to manipulate rates.
