In the past during normal times, to raise money for the federal government, the Treasury would sell government bonds. However, in recent years, they have abandoned any pretense of selling bonds and have instead just printed more money. Which raises the following question)s); 1. If the fedres is just printing money, is the US actually borrowing it? And can we just print more money to pay it back?
And the scary thing is that once the government discovers that when it needs more money it can just print it, it eventually does. The problem is runaway inflation which will destroy your life;s savings unless you have it invested in hard assets like gold, real estate, brass casings and copper jacketed lead, etc.
I’ve been needing one of those for awhile!
Now if everybody had one...a loaf of bread would be $100.
Until it went to $1,000. Then, $10,000, then...

It is simple: They merely write a check. Honest. Professor in economics class took a whole period to explain the process. The class was furious.
Now they don’t even bother to do that most of the time, They just create it with bits and bytes on a computer. E-Fiat, I guess.

Its just fabricated money. We are the world reserve.
I think 1.00 generates about 1.68 in its cycle.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said Sunday the American public shouldn’t worry about the coronavirus outbreak in China.

They literally type it into a computer. To “back” the money, they buy “things” such as $500 million for a parking lot. It is backed by not much.
When the Federal Reserve “printed” money they always used to buy Treasury Paper (bonds and notes) with it. I have referred to this as exchanging I-Owe-Me’s. Now I think the Fed has also been allowed to buy Corporate Paper as an “asset” to “back” the notes they “print.” (They don’t really print much anymore. These are just numbers in a computer somewhere.)
When the Federal Reserve was created, I believe the ONLY asset they could back their notes with was GOLD.

I asked a financial expert this same question a few years ago.
Here is his answer:
For the same reason 100 is the max.
Iran has our printing presses.
“Printing money out of thin air”
Yes. The USA can get away with it because the dollar is the worlds reserve currency. As soon as that is no longer the case, the US collapses. Which is why China, Russia and Iran have been trading in their own crypto-currencies (and not dollars).
The collapse is indeed coming. Now is the time to diversify ALL your assets. Even bitcoin is a good hedge, especially if Chinese Puppet Biden is installed to rule over us.
“The world” not buying enough treasury bonds to keep up with recent deficit spending...the Fed now buying treasury bonds themselves with freshly created $$. (”Monetizing the Debt”). Being done thru Fed member banks who buy the treasury bonds and “sell” them to the Fed in return for a “chit/IOU”...that the banks can put on the books as “reserves”.
Two words. BOOK ENTRY
Ahhhhh.....
That is the question that has been keeping scientists, and Hillary Clinton, awake at night.
