No...it is 100 percent privately owned and with privately employees. It's only 'government' is the federal reserve board which are a bunch of lackey bankers working in the interests of banks. It is completely outside the federal government with the exception of some alleged oversight which has never bothered to audit the books. We simply trust them to properly account for trillions of dollars. Ot is a scam which has enslaved citizens to the debt-based currency which only possible outcome is exponentially growing debt.

How do you really feel about the federal reserve......lol Just kidding, I feel the same way. There's so much more, like Fannie and Freddie. Government sponsored enterprises that don't have to open their books like other publicly traded entities. Those 2 also played a big part in the meltdown of 2008-2010 Fannie Mae recently eliminated its minimum 620 credit score requirement for loans processed through its Desktop Underwriter (DU) system, following a similar move by Freddie Mac, to help more buyers qualify by focusing on overall financial strength, not just a score.
