Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Sogo]

If they printed $2T, Fed's balance sheet grows. They're trying to shrink their balance sheet bc it's at unbelievably extreme levels.

Perspective: the Fed's (and any central bank's) long game is to throw a lot of dollars out into the system for a while (years), and then pull them back out of the system for a while (years). Every dollar is actually a debt. They're issuing lots of debt over years and then calling it in over a period of years also. They are playing the amount of money in circulation like an accordion. Push it out, then suck it back in, and make money doing it. If they have decided to start sucking dollars back in, why would they also want to print $2T of new dollars? It wouldn't fit what they're trying to do now as they move into the next part of the cycle.
