7 Best Comments On The Federal Reserve's New Facebook Page

Last Thursday, the Federal Reserve moved its public relations presence to the 21st century and launched a Facebook page.

According to the Fed’s first post, it wants to use the page with "the aim of increasing the accessibility and availability of Federal Reserve Board news and educational content."

Generally, the reaction to the page has been bafflement and amusement, with some wondering what public relations goals the Fed has as a private entity.

Former Texas Congressman, Republican presidential candidate and noted Fed critic Ron Paul even celebrated his 81st birthday with a video blog dissecting the page.

Predictably, given the divisive nature of the central bank's role in the U.S. economy, the page's comment sections are quite active.
