Why are so many people saying that the Federal Reserve should not be manipulating the economy?

Recently, I see a lot of people saying that the Federal Reserve should not have an impact on the economy, but they fail to explain what should happen instead.<br><br>Obviously the economy needs to be manipulated somehow, but if the Federal Reserve is not doing it, then who should be doing it? Should the government do it? Should gold run our money supply? Or should we just leave it completely up to the market?<br><br>I’m genuinely curious what people mean when they say the Federal Reserve shouldn’t have an impact.
