The Federal Reserve is a bank; in fact it's the central bank of the United States. Removing banking professionals from its governing board sounds a bit foolhardy.

Whom would he replace them with--political cronies? social justice activists? people with degrees in finance but no banking experience?

Sanders is great at these populist sound bites, but I don't see a lot of substance behind what he is saying. Like sort of a left wing Trump.

Amaericas banks & banking system are a joke.

You could put a trained chimp in the fed and get better results just from which paperwork the thrown faeces landed on.

It's hardly surprising he wants to replace the people involved.

So wouldn't it help to hire people with more expertise than chimps?

When the expertise in question is what's given you the current system, no.

I don't think it's the expertise that is in question, it's the lack of ethics.
