Reports from various sources suggest the potential official start of Quantitative Easing (QE), or "money printing," aimed at stabilizing markets.

I'm going to need a road map on how printing more money in an inflationary period (one in which the Fed has yet to be able to regain control of) will stabilize markets.

We are currently RMP-ing. What is the difference between RMP-ing and QE-ing?
quote:
The current Federal Reserve bond purchases, which began on December 10, 2025, under the label "reserve management purchases" (RMPs), are not considered QE. These involve buying shorter-term Treasury securities (mostly T-bills with maturities of one year or less, and up to three years if needed) at varying amounts—starting at about $40 billion in the first month—to maintain "ample reserves" in the banking system and ensure smooth short-term funding markets. Unlike QE, RMPs are not aimed at broad economic stimulus, lowering longer-term yields, or addressing a crisis; they're a technical tool to manage liquidity without returning to a pre-2008 "scarce reserves" framework. Fed officials have emphasized this distinction, noting that the scale is smaller and the focus is on short-duration assets, not the trillions in longer-term bonds seen in past QE rounds.

They started QE in December. They are not calling it "QE", but it's QE.

They are propping up the markets to keep investments up at the expense of consumers. The Fed created this mess and cannot fix it

The roadmap is simple. The federal government doesn't take in enough tax revenue to meet spending. The federal government has to then sell more debt. In order to keep the debt cheap the Federal Reserve steps in and buys what the private sector does not buy to keep the debt cheap (interest rates low).
There is a time lag from the time fiscal spending occurs and inflation hits the little guy. It's about 4 months. It's called the Cantillon Effect. The big banking baws get to spend the new money in the economy, prices rise and the little guy pays the inflation tax.

RMP = small money printing.
QE = big money printing.

The US economy is nothing but a debt-inflated illusion. This is just a sign the water is starting to come over the sides.

And in our current inflationary environment, that additional inflation is going to hurt. Bigly.

A "Fed Governor" is making an announcement???
Nah. The Fed Chair makes major news announcements. Individual Governors have never been used to do that.
I'm going with "Fake News" here.
