Whoops, I should have said: If you're a bank and you borrow money at 3% from the Federal Reserve; because, the economy is improving, which is increasing demand for loans from your costumer, and you use the money borrowed from the Fed to make loan to customers at 5%, then the spread is a couple of points, (eg percentage points or the bank's profit margin.). FYI, a bank's inventory is money, (eg its merchandise).
This is the way money is really created, by the FEd, not buy the government starting up the proverbial printing presses.
