Probably. "Loose money from the Fed"... is something all (irresponsible) governments want. It provides the "cover" for their immoral deficit spending/theft.
Used to be, a "$Billion here and there" was real money. My, how times have changed. Remember the old TV show, "The Millionaire"? If you had that today, you'd have "pocket money"... at least for now.
M2 used to track with inflation, or at least that’s what I was taught 20 years ago. Then all of the sudden it didn’t. It’s a remarkable correlation to when the Fed was given its second mandate. And presto change-o money changed and started acting in ways we didn’t expect for a very long period of time. I’m not saying I’m right - and I also pose automation and technology has a price stabilizing factor it - but no one can explain the below chart. There’s noise Biden is looking at a replacement but the Fed is being ran well so I don’t think it’s too much more than proper diligence in the off chance Powell wants out.
