I wonder whose share I'm holding then.

That's the total. The increase since 2001, which I believe is the number of interest, is about $330 for each person on the planet. Considering the US has only 5% of the world population, though, it's $6600 per US citizen. Even bigger than your number. There seems to be no solution that will satisfy everyone. There was a time in US history when there was no Fed. That didn't work all that well. Also, if you look at the history of other nations that have had government-controlled national banks, you will see them going through the same sorts of gyrations. (AND it can also be said that the FRB is NOT a government-controlled national bank. It is closer to being a private corporation whose stock is held by private banks, but whose directors are appointed by the President.)
