| | Federal Reserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The dividends paid by the Federal Reserve Banks to member banks are considered partial compensation for the lack of interest paid on member banks' required reserves held at the Federal Reserve Banks. | | | The Federal Reserve is financially independent because it runs a surplus, due in part to its ownership of government bonds. | | | The Federal Reserve System was created via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which "established a new central bank designed to add both flexibility and strength to the nation's financial system." The legislation provided for a system that included a number of regional Reserve Banks and a seven-member governing board. |

| | The Federal Reserve Bunk |
| | If the Federal Reserve Bank were demolished and the Congress of the United States took control of the currency, as required in the Constitution, the National Debt would virtually end overnight, and the need for more taxes and even the income tax, itself. | | | The Federal Reserve was to unite and supevise the entire banking system, control the expansion or contraction of currency, and regulate the flow of money to the commercial banks through the establishment of 12 Federal Reserve Banks. | | | The Federal Reserve is controlled by private banking interest and by Presidential appointment - but it is still a private organization and not a government entity. |

| | Washingtonpost.com: Business Special Report: Federal Reserve |
| | Federal Reserve policymakers, concluding that U.S. economic growth is so rapid that it poses a risk of higher inflation, raised their target for overnight interest rates by a quarter-percentage point to 5.5 percent today. | | | Separately, the Federal Reserve Board, whose members are all also members of the FOMC, raised the Fed's discount rate, the interest rate financial institutions pay when they borrow money from a regional Federal Reserve bank, to 5 percent from 4.75 percent. | | | Since many banks keep their prime lending rate three percentage points above the fed funds rates, today's move means that the interest rates charged on many consumer loans, such as unpaid credit card balances and home equity loans, will go up. |

For example, if the fractional reserve is set at 10% and a bank has $1 million on deposit (10% of $10 million), they can loan an additional $9 million- money they do not have! |
