US banks have been quietly borrowing massive amounts of money from the Federal Reserve in recent weeks by using a new measure the Fed introduced two months ago to help ease the credit crunch.
Why does the U.S. government have to borrow money from it's own central bank? If the Federal Reserve is part of the U.S. government then it should just print money at little to no cost.
