How do banks make money? By lending out money i.e. federal reserve notes at interest.

The Fed doesn't lend out FRNs.

Sp, yes. that $20 bill in your wallet was borrowed by the US government

Why do you feel the US government needs to borrow FRNs?

and will be paid back to the federal reserve plus interest.

Why would the Treasury repay anyone for my $20? You're not making any sense.

the treasure won't repay them. You will. through your taxes. what do you think it means to pay "interest on the debt"? look at the graph I just showed you. That's your obligation to the federal reserve.
