treasury bonds get paid off by the fed debiting and crediting accounts at the fed. It is not taken from anywhere According to conventional wisdom, the Federal government spends taxpayers' money. In reality it creates all the money it spends, and recaptures it with taxes and the sale of bonds. In the long run, however, it must spend at least as much as it recaptures.
