Do you buy the Fed Reserve conspiracy theories?

The concept is that the Federal Reserve loans the government money at interest which according to the theory it creates out of nothing. I'm wondering if you have any good refutations or resources about this and printing money in general.

It's not a conspiracy theory - it's kinda-sorta true and is as intended. Some say it's a good thing, others object. In any event, askHN is probably not the best way to get a grip on it. Perhaps, start here:
