Negative. Congress was govern the issue of money, who are (supposed to be) representatives of citizens. Ergo citizens should have the control of the nations money rather than a select extra-governmental group

Congress is just another organization. It doesnt matter if you call it private or public, it makes no physical difference.
Why is congress supposed to be representatives? Says whom? Oh you mean some paper written by congress says congress is important, its all perfectly clear now

Wrong, you can do whatever you want but so can anyone else. People are just people and sometimes they gather and make an "organization". Its just a bunch of people, you made a fiction of saying some groups are public and some groups are private. What does that even mean?

You know how some people say the US government is a private corporation? It makes no difference if it is or not, what matters are the actions not the label. An organization is an organization, people that gather to achieve some common goal.
