Is the sleepy Joe … Biden as the very first illegitimate POTUS - Build Back Better – agenda currently set to motion?

The entire problem of the US economy comes with the FOMOC Committee as the members of this committee have no clue … what they are doing … and the law makers as member of US Congress has no clue what the FOMOC Committee is doing as well.

        On Jan. 30, 2019, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System announced to little fanfare a momentous change in how it conducts monetary policy.  The change was adopted without any formal notice or request for public comment, nor with any formal input from Congress or the Administration.  Nevertheless, the change has had and will continue to have a profound effect on the role of the Federal Reserve in the United States financial system.  To implement policy in its new regime, the Fed not only has to be much bigger but also must continuously grow larger and expand the breadth of its counterparties.  The record indicates that the FOMC did not appreciate the consequences of its decision at the time, and the question now is whether the decision will be revisited given how manifest and serious those consequences are. Specifically, the Fed announced that it would conduct monetary policy by over-supplying liquidity to the financial system, driving short-term interest rates down to the rate that the Fed pays to sop the liquidity back up.  Previously, the Fed had kept reserve balances (bank deposits at the Fed) just scarce enough that the overnight interest rate was determined by transactions between financial institutions; those transactions consisted of banks with extra liquidity lending to those that needed it.  Now the rate is determined by transactions between banks and the Fed.  Moreover, the Fed has committed to providing so much extra liquidity that it would not need to adjust the quantity of reserve balances it is supplying in response to transitory shocks to liquidity supply and demand. The floor system is not working well.  It has not made monetary policy implementation easier nor interest rate control better.  Instead, it has required the Fed to keep growing and expanding its set of counterparties.

On one level, the story of President Biden's first year is a simple one: Americans feel worse about the pandemic and economy than they did earlier in his term, and his ratings have suffered for it. Majorities say he isn't paying enough attention to either the economy or inflation — together, their top issues — not just that he isn't handling them well. His overall approval at the one-year mark is 44%, and it's been in the 40s since this fall. That is, however, despite the fact that only 26% of Americans think things in the country are going well. Mr. Biden saw his approval drop months ago without a subsequent recovery. At the start of his term, his rating was up in the 60s, buoyed by optimism about getting the pandemic under control. The honeymoon had faded by summer. Dear Joe Biden money are not leaves and does not grown on trees.

As an outcome we are - Fellow members of the US Bankruptcy. The US Treasury, Federal Reserve and current administration of the White House try everything possible to make honest dollar; Markets Raffles, Markets bazaars and block parties as for that instance oncoming Feb. 26 2022 George Washington birthday ball. Now, we all know that business has been rotten lately. So, to furnish US with the details I will call the body in charge of the rotten business FOMOC Committee which shall read the statement for our current fiscal year reads as follows; - “we’re busted

But instead the FOMOC Committee issues two different minutes from November and December 2021.

In the first article (click on the image to the right) we have explained as “Balance Sheet Runoff” where we have pointed that Primary Dealers being tied of forced investment in Treasury securities, have move these liquidities to other business operation and currently the Treasury run on deficit about 100 trillion dollars as virtual fund desperately needed for the futures maturity dates of the mentioned treasury securities. Considering additional fact that the intention is to stop asset purchase will cause the disaster with raising cost as debt service we are at the very edge of the financial cliff. Today I will have corroborated not just the future financial situation of the US Treasury but the date described by FOMOC Committee as “resulting in an end to net asset purchases in mid-March” which in reality shall be interpreted as financial collapse date.

A joint meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System was held by videoconference on Tuesday, December 14, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. and continued on Wednesday, December 15, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. The meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m. on December 15, 2021. But the minutes of this meeting were released on January the 5 2022. It was agreed that the next meeting of the Committee would be held on Tuesday–Wednesday, January 25–26, 2022. In response, the Propaganda Machine as Reuters for that instance followed by Bloomberg, CNBC or Fox News etcetera, imprinted to general bread consumers reality perception that the strengthening economy and higher inflation could lead to earlier and faster interest-rate increases than previously expected, with some policy makers also favoring starting to shrink the balance sheet soon after.

But what they as the Propaganda Machine shall tell for you … goes like this;

Beginning in January, the Committee will increase its holdings of Treasury securities by at least $40 billion per month and of agency mortgage-backed securities by at least $20 billion per month. Increase the SOMA holdings of Treasury securities as described, during the monthly purchase period beginning in mid-January. Regarding the outlook for U.S. monetary policy, expectations for a reduction in policy accommodation shifted forward notably. Respondents to the Open Market Desk’s surveys of primary dealers and market participants broadly projected that the Committee would quicken the pace of reduction in the Federal Reserve’s net purchases of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and the median respondent projected net asset purchases to end in March 2022. The median respondent’s projected timing for the first increase in the target range for the federal funds rate also moved earlier from the first quarter of 2023 to June 2022 according to the November minutes. But to understand that we have to focus on November policy prediction and subsequent performance;

In November reductions intention in the Federal Reserve’s net purchases of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) pace which subsequently were implemented, the System Open Market Account (SOMA) portfolio (click on the image to the left for details) shall peak around next June at about $8.5 trillion. In reality this happened in January 2022. And what was not anticipated at November FOMOC Committee was the default as burden of this intention. The Treasury used the Rollovers tool to balance the finance of the GOV. A SOMA Treasury rollover describes the process by which principal payments from maturing Treasury securities held by the SOMA are reinvested in newly auctioned securities. Specifically, the Open Market Trading Desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York places non-competitive bids at Treasury auctions, in an amount equal to all or a portion of the maturing Treasury securities, that will settle on the maturity date of the maturing Treasury securities. On the auction settlement date, the maturing Treasury securities are exchanged for the newly issued Treasury securities. But this operation at the very same time does create deficit in liquidity portfolio redirecting all operation to bankruptcy definition. In other words, the overnight loan, be granted upon participation in this process. Quote from Federal Reserve Bank of NY; “Loans are awarded based on competitive bidding in a multiple price auction for each security. Primary dealers that have elected to participate in the program may submit bids via FedTrade after the auction has been announced. Loan awards are constrained by dealer limits. In addition, the New York Fed reserves the right to reject bids at its discretion, when it is believed that granting the loan would facilitate a dealer’s ability to control a specific issue.”

In terms of composition, Treasury securities and agency MBS would constitute roughly 70 percent and 30 percent of the SOMA portfolio, respectively—roughly in line with the shares of Treasury securities and agency MBS in the total stock of these securities outstanding—and the SOMA portfolio would be more heavily weighted toward Treasury securities than after the conclusion of the third large-scale asset purchase program 2014 following the global financial crisis. Participants also expected that economic conditions would evolve in a manner such that similar reductions in the pace of net asset purchases would be appropriate each subsequent month, resulting in an end to net asset purchases in mid-March, a few months sooner than participants had anticipated at the November FOMC meeting. Members also agreed that similar reductions in the pace of net asset purchases would likely be appropriate in subsequent months, implying that increases in the Federal Reserve’s securities holdings would cease by mid-March under the Committee’s outlook, a few months sooner than had been anticipated at the previous meeting.

Please take a look to the financial situation of the Primary Dealers as Gov. burden with the virtual fund that they do run at present, described to me earlier by Peter Navarro in 2020; Since every week is a transaction upon treasury securities at auction in focus some of the GOV obligation are closed and reentered upon new bid at auction. This means that the deficit entered every week are accumulated on one hand and reinvested on the other hand. So, at 4 weeks as lower term of the maturity date upon the treasury securities it will bring us to 35 trillion shorts as liquidity on hand only. But I do predict about 100 trillion in virtually run fund by the Treasury Secretary at present as obligation to Primary Dealers.

The entire problem is less complicated than that. The Government may have plenty of money for every issue as they may come-up with and do to the fact as US economy comes with the FOMOC Committee as the members of this committee have no clue … what they are doing … and the law makes as member of US Congress has no clue what the FOMOC Committee is doing as well. If there be just few Members of the Congress with open mind we can solve the debt – deficit and monetary policies within a week or so. But we have to get rid of the sleepy Joe first and let open mind personnel to govern the country.
