Q: Yes, banks have lost money and the gov is investigating as to what happened but who is going to talk about all the money the banks and mortgage institutions made in the midst of the feeding frenzy?

A: Many banks and lending institutions made the original loans and money, then sold them. The government bought most and they will be the one losing money. Don’t think they will lose it alone though.

What kind of paper is money made out of?

Q: My fathers Birthday is coming up and lets just say… he makes a good amount of money. I want to make him a card made of the same paper a US dollar is made out of. I think he would love it.
