If the Fed Prints Money... Who Do They Owe It To?

Every American believes the government prints money — until you learn who actually controls the money supply. In this documentary-style breakdown, we uncover the paradox at the heart of the monetary system: the Federal Reserve creates trillions of dollars out of thin air, but those dollars are debt instruments. If they created the money from nothing, who do they owe it to?

From the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 to the money creation process in 2025, this isn't just about how money is made — it's about who profits from its creation. The Fed creates dollars by buying government bonds. The government owes the Fed principal plus interest. And the Fed is owned by private banks. Which means taxpayers pay interest on money that was created from nothing, forever.
