Time to nationalize Citigroup?

I wonder at the partial solutions to the crisis in the financial markets. It seems to me that the fundamental resolution of this "economic armageddon" would be to nationalize the Federal Reserve Bank and reinstate the usuary laws, the repeal of which have led directly to the burst credit bubble. Does anyone else out there see the connection between a private central bank and the cyclical upheaval of the economy of the United States? I wish that the subject would at least enter the national debate before the Presidential election.
