Since the beginning of the Great Recession, the Federal Reserve Bank has engaged in expansionary monetary policy (buying U.S. Treasury bonds) with the goal of promoting economic recovery. Most Americans think that when the Federal Reserve buys these securities, they must "get the money" from somewhere. Actually the Federal Reserve Bank has the perfect "money tree" because it is able to simply create "new money". That means it doesn’t actually need to have "the money" when it purchases securities. The Federal Reserve simply writes a check or does a wire transfer to the seller of the security. Very often, this is the U.S. Treasury who has just created new bonds in the deficit! At this point there is newly created money. No Federal Reserve account with "money in it" somewhere is decreased as a result of the bond purchases.
