FED had no clear authority for $2.7 Trillion in illicit residential mortgage-backed securities and refuses to cease purchases despite record inflation and unaffordability
The Fed is using principal payments from the MBS on its balance sheet to buy more. "Reinvestment." It's their idea of a "soft landing." But for the average non-homeowning American, it amounts to a continuation of a grotesque displacement.
"The FED has irrevocably breached the trust of the American people. The FED should never again be allowed to play God with American financial and housing markets."
In a system that boasts of "checks and balances", WHO CHECKS THE FED?
Certainly not the woke Senate Banking Committee that seems only concerned with gender equality and Green Energy.
But, the last report cut off June 29 and allegedly there were balance sheet trimmings hitting on June 30.
Nevertheless, the "slow play" of the Fed is remarkable. And the fact they are "painting" a flat yield curve seems to me they want to generate the "yield curve is forecasting a recession" game.
The FED can make the yield curve anything they want with the 9 Trillion sheet that has plenty of longer range maturities they could sell.
#1 The Fed partnered up with an outside entity for the first time ever.....Blackrock.
#2 The Fed bought 40,000 million of MBSs each month for a couple of years ($40 Billion) as housing prices spiked.
#3 Blackrock has big investments in residential real estate.
#4 In 2006 the Fed held no MBSs, now own 2.7 Trillion
#5 Don't think this is a coincidence
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day...

#1 Blackrock works WITH the Fed.
#2 Blackrock has big investment/speculation in residential real estate
#3 The Fed kept 30yr mortgages at unrealistically low levels for years...buying 40,000 million A MONTH of MBSs......why?
Points one and two seem to be the reasoning for #3.
Very much agree with the spirit of this article.
