they're injecting money.

it means that banks loaned $5.25 billion from them

i think you meant to say borrowed...

It means that the end is near.

To "pump money" into the economy the fed buys overnight CD's from it's participating banks, who thus have the respective extra money to lend out.

Don't think about it too hard or you'll realize that the major trends of the economy are dependent largely on vapor.

Excellent video. Thanks :thumbsup
