From whence comes the XX,XXX,XXX dollars the Federal Reserve 'added' to the Bank of Hooterville's balance sheet?

The Fed changes the numbers on the spreadsheet. Sorry I can't dumb it down any further for you.

So they just create the 'money' out of thin then.

I hope you can run really, really fast, boy.

I hear that tar and feathers, properly applied, are very painful.

So why doesn’t the Fed put even bigger numbers into the spreadsheet and send everyone One! Million! Dollars!?

Oh. I see you're from Illinois, AND a fan of Todd Rundgren.

That explains a lot.

An awful lot.
