Financial markets have begun to fear that if nothing is done, the Fed might have trouble putting out fires in the future. The Fed held close to $800 billion in Treasury securities a year ago. By last week, that had dwindled to just under $480 billion. The amount drops to less than $200 billion if the $200 billion pledged to the Term Securities Lending Facility -- a Fed lending program created in March for investment banks -- and the full $85 billion line to AIG are accounted for, Fed watchers say. online.wsj.com So the Treasury "fixes" the Fed, which "fixes" all the insurers and banks and mortgages and airlines and everything else. And the Chinese "fix" the Treasury, by funding our half-trillion deficit. I guess this process continues, till the Chinese stop buying Treasuries.
