I don’t understand how an organization can “manufacture” money like one manufactures lawnmowers. I’m ignorant know how that manufactured money gets loaned to banks (at the discount rate) and then re-borrowed from the banks by the same government counterfeiters now “servicing” debt with interest paid to the banks who are merely passing the counterfeit dollars back to the counterfeiter at a profit. Subsequently, we pumped trillions to the banks which didn’t “stimulate the economy” but was merely used by the billionaire bonus banksters to eradicate paper debt. I cannot understand why anyone should make unsecured loans or why the government should “control” interest rates. I don’t know why the government loans “money” to banks who are, in turn, required to loan the “money” out to farmers, students, etc. at a profit instead of the government directly loaning it out. E.G., the modern economics of the Pauls (Samuelson and Krugman) makes NO SENSE to me. Perhaps after a successful lobotomy, it will one day make sense to me. If there is a difference between the Plutocratic Republican version of this modern con-man counterfeit economics from the Do-Gooder Democratic version, it also escapes me.
