The biggest issues are the fact that it's inflationary and debt-based.  It's also controlled by those with political connections and used as a political tool.
Most central banks are generally independent from political affiliation and are not controlled by any political appointee.

The Federal Reserve was created by an act of Congress and the president appoints the Fed Chairman.  Also, a significant amount of the federal government's funding has been coming from the Fed.
