And yet when a president tries to do something about it he's met with resistance. When y'all can figure out how to do everything you want to do and not add to the debt and deficit let us know.

at bretton woods conference which designed the global financial system for the next 35 years, FDR banned bankers from attending.

never hurts to research concepts for a more accurate description and understanding of what others have told you.

FDR didn't outright ban bankers from the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, but his administration deliberately excluded them from key roles to limit their influence. This was driven by public distrust of bankers post-Great Depression, a desire to prioritize national and global economic stability over private profits, and a strategic aim to assert U.S. government control over the new international monetary system.
