If they are making money while they are here illegally, is not that money the same as money a drug maker earns? And we sieze the money and belongings of drug makers when we catch them. So, shouldn’t we do the same to the money that illegal aliens make?

When the T-bonds in the Fed’s account mature, will the goverment pay to the Fed? If it will, how does the Fed use the money from the government? If the Fed then transfer the money to the government, does it mean that we all pay an inflation tax?

I am having a baby soon so I want to start saving up money for his college, money for a house and just extra emergency money. What would be the best way to do this? I don’t want alot of restrictions, I just want to be able to throw money in, and let it grow.

I’m planning to sell my books to a used book store, and I was wondering how much money I would get for them. I live in Ontario, Canada, the tax here is 15%, and I was wondering: How much money can a book sell for, if it’s used. The books I have are in semi-good condition, no scratches or bends. The only imperfection id that my name is on all of them, neatly, on the front and back pages. How much would it sell for at an ordinary used books store?

I’ve been living in Japan for a few months and I need to return to America for a bit. I get direct-deposit into my Japanese bank account and I won’t receive my money until after I leave the country, but I can’t figure out how to withdraw that money while in America. My bank doesn’t issue checks, traveler’s checks have to be prepaid, and my ATM card doesn’t have a magnetic strip or a credit card logo (it just has a microchip). What can I do?
