Huge deficits like the USA has now only exist because the FED "buys" the debt. Without the ability to run huge deficits, the Government must greatly reduce its activities, and subject itself to the will of the market, and those taxes it can extract from the population. We have already seen that the Government has basically maxed-out what it can take directly in taxes from the people. Now the only way left is to stealthily tax you through inflation.
Looked at another way - this proves that the FED is the main pillar of the progressive movement.
The FED should be the main target of all conservatives.
The Fed holds $1.1 trillion in Treasury debt. You could erase $1.1 trillion and the government would still be $12.9 trillion in the hole.
