    The U.S. dollar, like almost all currencies in the world is a fiat currency. Still, Congress keeps track of it, by taxing or selling bonds to spend money. The
    Federal Reserve exercises monetary policy to buy the bonds and stimulate the economy, or sell bonds itself to effect a contraction and act against inflation.
    The Federal Reserve DOES create money out of thin air, or bonds out of thin air if
    it needs to. But the point to get about fiat currency, is that spending goes to
    the trade-off between interest rates and inflation, and the Federal Reserve manages these. It COULD write off all the bonds it buys from Congress, and reduce
    the so-called "National Debt."

    The Macro-Economy is a trade-off between: Unemployment vs. Inflation vs. interest
    rates, vs. Price to Book Values (stock market inflation).

    Stimulating the economy through fiscal (Congressional) spending, or the Fed (monetary) buying bonds, increases inflation and reduces unemployment. In the case of monetary expansion, this is done through a lower interest rate, which may
    increase stock market price-to-book values, as money seeks higher returns in equities rather than debt. When bond prices go up, due to Fed purchases of bonds,
    interest rates go down. The people who sold the bonds buy stocks and stimulate the economy, employing more people, until the economy attains full output for the
    existent capital of the moment.
