Treasury bonds are debt obligations (liability) of the government to repay a loan - with interest. The Treasury sells bonds to the public. The bonds the public does not buy, the Treasury deposits with the Federal Reserve. When the Fed accepts the bond from the Treasury, it lists the bond on its books as an asset. The Fed assumes the government will make good on its promise to pay back the loan. This is based on the belief that the government’s power to tax the people is sufficient collateral. Because the Fed now has an asset that it didn't have before receiving the Treasury bond, the Fed can now create a liability that is offset by its new asset.

Sarah Palin will make abortion illegal even in case of rape or incest. She believes in the "end times" and has said that she´s expecting Jesus to return in her lifetime. Science tells us that The Earth could be twice as old, i.e. about 9 billion years. And McCain wants to destroy Social Security and make more wars. Palin said, "We may need to go to war with Russia". That´s NOT an obtion ! PS: Governor Sarah Palin cut funding for special needs children by 60 %.
