It's not quite a black hole, the size of the balance sheet is around $1 Trillion. Then there is a certain machine they can use, but using it abusively to monetize the debt is not as harmless as it seems. They thus would rather borrow from the Treasury or the foreigners. It also seems the Treasury is a black hole that can bail out everyone, while running a huge deficit + cutting taxes for the rich forever. However, this is also not the case, and once the markets start paying attention, then SHTF in a big way.
