The Federal Reserve system has announced it will buy up to $300 billion in US Treasury Securities, and up to $750 billion in Mortgage Backed Securities (think Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae).

Where did the Federal Reserve system get the $1 trillion to do that?

They search the sofa in the Oval Office after each dignitary visit.
Only God knows for sure
They bounced a check for $1 trillion and nobody noticed
From the money tree
Wait, that means the US treasury is paying interest to the Fed on money that doesn't exist
They borrowed it from member banks
The Federal Reserve system injected liquidity through the Fedwire system
From China
They printed 10,000,000,000 $100 bills and sent all 22 million pounds of them in 550 tractor trailer trucks over to Tim Geithner's office
Isn't this how Zimbabwe tried to solve their money problems?
From the EU Central Bank in Brussels
They stole it from poor people, like all working people do
From Mexican drug dealers
From Obama's Stash
If they can do $1 trillion, why not $100 trillion - we'll all be rich
They borrowed it from the IMF, the world's biggest bank
From our unborn grandchildren's children
Its a scam , like social security
Fed Chairman Bernanke deposited $1 Trillion in the US Treasury account at the Fed, so no money changed hands
I want to start a country of my own that can just make money!
This makes my head hurt
