No, the Federal Reserve is not part of the government, it's a privately owned organization. It can be a bit confusing, seeing as how the Federal Reserve is not federal, and has no reserves. Anyways, the Fed is the entity that the national debt is owed to. We need to abolish the Fed, and Congress needs to issue a new gold-backed form of currency.
