It's not so much that the Fed’s “hands are tied” preventing them from monetary policy they should, as a central bank, take. Rather, Congress just isn't taking fiscal policy actions that they, as the government outside of the central bank, should take, and (in some cases, especially on the Right) blaming the Fed for for their own nonfeasance.
