A good chunk of the interest payments on the US debt goes to the Fed. So why are they continuing to profit when the nation is in so much trouble? They are a lot worst than thieves.

They were idiots to take something like that to the US treasury. Around here, there is lots of pirate treasure from the old days, for real. If I ever found any, you can bet I'll be keeping my mouth shut about it.

I remember one time in the Bahamas a kid on the beach had kicked up a coin, showed it to his Dad saying, "what's this?"

They dug a little and found 68 thousand gold doubloons, unearthed by a storm the night before, right on the beach. They announced their find, and the Bahamian govt instantly claimed 90 percent of it. Then the fight started between the Spanish and Mexican govts each claiming they owned it, because it was from a Spanish galleon, and the Mexican govt claiming it had been stolen from them back in the day. That is, before the country of Mexico even existed. The kid and his dad got to keep a couple of coins. Shoulda kept their mouths shut.
