played a big role in the past in getting us out of recessions, stabilizing our money, lessening bank panics (especially after the great depression). It serves a key role in our government and economy. If we were to eliminate the federal reserve, we would still need to replace it with a similar organization (like the first and second bank of the US, Bank of England, Scotland, Canada, etc)
