The Fed had been somewhat restrained at 4.5% YOY growth, but lately they've been cranking it up much higher, and that's what I've been referring to. $9.134 billion in permanents since 11/20. If they do no more in the next two months, fine, but we will see. ny.frb.org As far as big recycling FCB money and Fed monetization, if you want to create a imbalanced economy where few save AND just consume excessively AND borrow AND blow Bubbles, AND large groups are hit with high costs and inflation, AND depend on potentially unfriendly, unstable countries for vendor financing, fine again, but you are playing with fire. idorfman.com idorfman.com idorfman.com

I believe the Fed did more like $30 to $35 billion in coupon passes this past year My records show $48.95 billion. They get US dollars from their domestic manufacturers who sold goods to American consumers. I'm having difficulty tracking with you (no criticism intended), but if you take your statement and keep tracing it back then you arrive in general at the Fed and the fractional reserve system (yes, that's overly general - its just a broad picture to allow the major flow to be described) that creates most of that new money that American consumers spend.
