I do know that nobody has confidence in buying its 30-year bonds. Maybe nobody wants its 15 year bonds now?

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. The Fed buys (and sells) bonds issued by others (mostly the U.S. Treasury, but now also the private sector). It doesn’t issue its own bonds.

The best predictor of future inflation is bond prices. This can’t be true when fed distorts the market. No price signals catastrophe ahead

Why buy government bonds when you can buy gold and make profit?

It’s a good deal for the government to borrow at no cost for 15 or 30 years
