So much of this money goes towards the leaders' palaces, armoured limousines, private planes, bodyguards, etc.. Very little seems to end up in the pockets of those who really need it.

Who are these "private creditors"

The Federal Reserve and the International Monetary Foundation.

They are all private, not owned by USA's government. They tell the Treasury how many dollars should be printed.
