Always wondered this....... never knew the answer... can someone(s) please tell me?
What does the US government invest their money in?
I know they sell bonds (debt), but how, exactly, for example, does the US gov MAKE the money to pay interest (now at 5.25%?) to those who buy their currency, for instance?
What are the things the US gov "invests" in? And, if they invest, how much return do they get on their money they invest?
Thanks for any/all replies ahead of time!
