The Fed says they are not targeting growth or the stock market. In 1993-1994, the Fed raised rates from 3% up to 6% to engineer a soft landing. We're now at 6.5% which is obviously .5% higher than as far as the Fed went in 1994. My question is what does the Federal Government do with the money it raises in selling short term Government securites in the open market to bring short term rates up where they want? Doesn't the Federal Government spend every dime it takes in? Isn't that money going right back into the economy in the form of Government spending?
