<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2296561, member: 15929&quot;]Strange that nobody has addressed this comment nor pointed folks to the US Mint&#039;s Web site where Annual Reports regarding profits (going back to 2001) are readily available for download and analysis.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/?action=annual_report" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/?action=annual_report" rel="nofollow">http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/?action=annual_report</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You want to know who pays for what?</p><p><br /></p><p>Read the Reports.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Federal Reserve returning &quot;hundreds of billions in profits&quot; back to the Treasury? Not so. The Federal Reserve Bank, which actually &quot;own&quot; the Federal Reserve Notes you spend on a daily basis, is responsible for maintaining the economy of the country by issuing notes (currency) to the public. It is a fairly complex subject of which I know little about BUT the Federal Reserve Bank is no more a part of the US Government than Federal Express or Federal-Mogul Corporation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;Federal Reserve Bank&quot;, in a sense, is the primary &quot;creditor&quot; for the United States of America. They do not &quot;give&quot; the country money or share their profits with the country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
