where does the fed get the money to buy back bonds, etc. with overnight repos?
doesnt it just print money to buy back its loans(bonds)....

my question is why doesnt the fed just print more money rather than just sell bonds?
either way they are creating more money but one is debt(bond) and one is free money....
