"buying close to half of the paper ourselves..." buying back our own debt

you mean?

where are we now?
And why is 50% my magic, marker?!?

TIA, (good/heady convo')
b.street

p.s. tho' yes, raise rates and it costs you mo' to be YOU... so to speak... I get that.

and if we own our own debt... buy it back... that's not as bad as foreign
dumping U.S. and pulling our debt rug out from under us, right?

tho' going from high 30's Debt:Equity ratio to top-10 worst (now) after both
printings from red then from blue? with low-rates? still with cv19?
That's A LOOOOOOTA instability to me... banana peals
fiscally, abound.

FED sees the turmoil as an excuse to not begin rate increases. -- ColoVT82 02/24/2022 7:49PM

+i-rates is to sop up all the stimuli flooding which is +inflation? -- bourbonstreet 02/24/2022 8:13PM

FED raises to cool down inflation. Yet, they are painted into a corner -- ColoVT82 02/24/2022 8:29PM
