Why can’t I borrow money directly from the Fed at 0% like banks get to do?

That's a great question, especially considering the double digit rates the same banks charge for balances on consumer credit cards.

That's a silly question, considering loans from the Fed are fully collateralized, over-collateralized even, overnight loans and credit card loans are unsecured.
