Who controls the US economy and the world economy?

Who controls the US economy and the world economy?



The Federal Reserve Bank "Fed"  is controlling  the credit and currency of the world through trade and foreign  policies of  the U.S.

It controls the US economy and the world economy.

American people do not decide for themselves if they wish  to control the  world economy with their tax dollars.

 There is no National debt,  there is  world economy debt and that is controlled by the Fed.

Foreign countries finance US trade through  their dollar purchases of US Treasuries.

Fed then has to print dollars to send them overseas to pay for the debt.
