The federal government doesn’t borrow money like that. 

The US Treasury borrows money by selling bonds directly to the public in an auction. The Fed is never a participant in these public auctions. 

Instead, the Fed will purchase the bonds from current holders in the open market.

Edit: Basically, the government never “asks” for a loan
