Maybe just turn it down, but then instead, make it so money creation is only done by giving people negative tax rates that pays then money, and a inverse progressive system where the poor get back more negative taxes than the higher earners would.

I think this would then actually stimulate the economy

The Fed is still slowly allowing government bonds to lapse while simultaneously buying new bonds from banks to the tune of a net gain of +400b over the past 2 weeks, that’s QE not QT.

And here I thought you understood that this isn’t going to be temporary. Banks will be in no better position a year from now when these bonds start to lapse and the Fed begins some new “temporary and definitely not money printing” program.

I dont think you understand how BTFP works. The "spike" in the balance sheet isnt QT being turned off but after the treasury interest is forfeited, the balance sheet should go back down a year from now. Again, this is literally providing temporary liquid to the banks. If QT was undone we wouldn't have a single red day this past week.

They will absolutely come up with some more bullshit to kick the can with things already unaffordable.

QT isn’t in play any more, they’ve undone the last 5 months in a matter of 2 weeks. This endless monetization of debt instead of allowing it to bankrupt out naturally just increases the money supply causing inflation. The Fed is simultaneously raising rates to slow inflation while injecting cash to permanently monetize bad debts that can never be repaid.

You honestly believe fed won't concoct some more bullshit to kick the can down the road as long as the massive bubble of everything still remains affordable to live under?

As long as QT is still in play this is hardly an issue. Fed might as well outright bail them out than resorting to BTFP even a year from now to avoid any stress in the financial markets as they always do.
