The Federal Reserve could decrease the money supply by raising interest rates, selling government securities, or increasing reserve requirements for banks.
During the years 1928 and 1929, the Federal Reserve took actions to raise interest rates in an effort to curb excessive speculation in the stock market and prevent inflation. These actions were aimed at stabilizing the economy and preventing a potential financial crisis.

The US Federal Reserve System sets the nation's monetary policy to promote the objectives of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. The statutory goals of maximum employment and stable prices are easier to achieve if the public understands those goals and believes that the Federal Reserve will take effective measure to achieve them.
The interest rate that the Federal Reserve charges member banks is called the discount rate. This rate is used for loans that banks take from the Federal Reserve's discount window, which provides them with short-term liquidity. Changes in the discount rate can influence overall monetary policy and affect interest rates throughout the economy.
The Federal Reserve System regulates the nation's supply of money and credit to do its best to ensure that the growth of money and credit will be adequate to meet the longer term needs of a steadily expanding economy and take actions on a short term basis to slow or accelerate this growth in order to dampen inflationary or deflationary pressures.
It is important for the Fed to be independent because much their open market operations (i.e. raising or powering short term interest rates) tend to be very politically charged. The effects of the operations have long lead time (up to six month or more) that don't lend themselves to the political whim.AnswerThe activities of the Federal Reserve are not only independent of all government oversight, they are secret. This is important to the Federal Reserve because they have the power to cause economic chaos at will. If they were subject to government oversight they could not do this. For this reason the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional and the people should demand that its charter be revoked.
The strong dollar can hurt other economies by making their exports more expensive and less competitive in global markets. This can lead to lower demand for their goods and services, impacting their economic growth. To address this issue, the Federal Reserve could consider lowering interest rates or implementing other monetary policies to weaken the dollar and support other economies.
