At this point isn't over half the Fed's balance sheet already committed? These guys are supposed to be the last resort safety net, yet they have already used half their capacity (treasuries). They CAN print money but the consequences of doing that could be severe, especially right now.

Fed officials SHOULD be having a lot of sleepless nights at this point. They put themselves on a tightrope.
