Quote from: TDoS on Apr 20, 2026, 03:04 PMWhat is "the Fed monetizing the debt" signify? I'm not sure I know what that means, "monetizing debt".
Basically, it means issuing a debt instrument without having collateral to borrow against. Money is a debt instrument, it's a note of infinite duration. To do it, Da Fed issues USTs and buys them with money it prints rather than selling them to other banks and investors. They have to do that because they don't have enough buyers for the debt on the open market.
