Another $75B injection planned for tomorrow: https://www.ft.com/content/2c11a972-d941-11e9-8f9b-77216ebe1...



I guess this is a dumb question but can they just keep "injecting" indefinitely? Do they have a magical Money Tree or something?


Look at a US dollar bill and what kind of note it is.

Yeah, the Federal Reserve has a “magical money tree”: the whole reason they exist is to manage the money supply.


>the whole reason they exist is to manage the money supply.

That's a lot like saying the whole reason google exists is to help people find information. There are greedier reasons for these organizations to exist.

No it's not.

> There are greedier reasons for these organizations to exist.

Any “greedier reason” for the Fed is a particular application of managing the money supply; it to exists to manage the money supply, independently of whether it exists to do that for the public interest or “greedier reasons”.


That's why they call it the free market.
