The primary justification for an independent Federal Reserve is the need to insulate it from short-term political pressures. Without a degree of autonomy, the Fed could be influenced by election-focused politicians into enacting an excessively expansionary monetary policy to lower unemployment in the short-term.

The Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, is the Fed’s monetary policymaking body. It is responsible for formulation of a policy designed to promote stable prices and economic growth. Simply put, the FOMC manages the nation’s money supply.

The Fed controls the supply of money by increas- ing or decreasing the monetary base. The monetary base is related to the size of the Fed’s balance sheet; specifically, it is currency in circulation plus the deposit balances that depository institutions hold with the Federal Reserve.

Conversely, if the Fed wants to decrease the money supply, it sells bonds from its account, thus taking in cash and removing money from the economic system.

If the Fed wants to restrain the economy (decrease aggregate demand), it will lower the money supply by selling government bonds, increasing the reserve ratio, and/or raising the discount rate.
