⸻
- Background
In the modern U.S. central banking system, the Federal Reserve (Federal Reserve Board) has a relatively small capital, and its financial risk absorption is effectively dependent on federal guarantees. As a result, the U.S. government has been forced to raise fiscal funds by issuing deficit government bonds, increasing the burden of interest payments and dependence on tax revenue.
⸻
- Outline of the proposal
This proposal eliminates the fiscal deficit and provides the government with the possibility of tax-free financial management by combining credit creation through the issuance of FRB corporate bonds, the increase of Fed capital, and the issuance of government banknotes dedicated to debt repayment.
- Significant increase in FRB capital
• Set up a huge amount of capital in the FRB
• Accumulate and manage profits from credit creation in capital and establish a financial foundation that does not depend on government borrowing
- Fundraising through the issuance of FRB corporate bonds
• Based on a huge amount of capital, the Fed issues corporate bonds to raise funds from the market
• Funds raised are used for monetary policy and market intervention, reducing dependence on government deficits
- Issuance exclusively for debt repayment of government banknotes
• The U.S. government does not use banknotes for new spending, but issues them exclusively to redeem existing debt.
• Direct repayment of government bonds is possible, eliminating the need for new borrowing or dependence on tax revenue.

Expected effect
-
Improving the independence and credibility of the FRB
• Huge capital increases the ability to absorb losses and expands the freedom of policy management
• Market psychology evaluates that “the Fed will not fall”, strengthening the credibility of the dollar
- Reducing the burden of U.S. government debt
• Government banknotes dedicated to debt repayment can directly carry out government bond repayment
• There is no need to issue new government bonds or depend on tax revenue, and tax-free financial management is possible.
- Improving the flexibility of policy management
• By creating credit by issuing huge capital + Fed corporate bonds, it is possible to integrate monetary and fiscal policy.
• Interest rate and inflation management can be implemented while supporting the credibility of the market
⸻
- Constraints and points to note
• Legal: Amendments to the Fed Act and the U.S. Fiscal Act are mandatory
• Economic: Huge capital, issuance of Fed corporate bonds, and inflation risk management associated with the issuance of government banknotes are required
• Policy management: It is important to design that does not compromise independence due to private investment and Fed bond interest payment pressure
⸻
- Conclusion
By combining the increase in FRB capital, creating credit by issuing FRB corporate bonds, and issuing government banknotes exclusively for debt repayment, tax-free financial management without the need for U.S. government borrowing will be possible, and the Fed’s creditworthiness and policy management capabilities can be maximized. Present a financial and fiscal paradigm.
