"I like to think of the Treasury and the Fed as two characters in the Mafia movie The Godfather."

An actual line from Paddy Hirsch’s new book. And it gets better: apparently the Treasury secretary is Tom Hagen (the Robert Duvall character), while the Fed chairman is Luca Brasi. (“Brasi is a hired gun. He’s highly trusted by the Corleones, but he’s not a family member.”)
