This is not my strong suite, but if you look at the assets which large holders of t-bills are divesting into, you'll find strong inflation.



That's not inflation, that's a capital glut!


The yields on treasury bills are extraordinarily low by historical standards (i.e. the prices are high) because they are in high demand, not low demand.


So why is debt being monetized? Because it's politically better to owe it to yourself than to owe it to someone else?


House prices went down, and a recession happened. So making the prices of some other investment (which probably has to be government debt in order for them to not get sued for favoritism) go up by a similar amount, should make the recession stop happening.
