The issue reminds me of the Andrew Jackson dismanting of the First National Bank. It was also this quasi private "Govt." institution (our US gold reserves were stored there) which did do some good things like stimulate economic progress, however it was too powerful a force and its continued existence always held the threat of becoming a de facto fourth branch of government entirely out of the control of the public at large. We were better rid of it then.
