>Either rates go up in order to attract more buyers of treasuries, leading to a greater slowdown in the economy
See, I can imagine them selling higher rates at the cost of a slowdown in the economy if they do a "INVEST IN AMERICA!" campaign with their own citizens. If the economy is going to get bad, at least give people a reason to be proud to endure it because they've personally put their money where their mouth is as far as their country is concerned.
The Fed buying treasuries and the resulting spike in inflation, wouldn't that kill CPI data next time around? The last one already showed that the necessities were still rising, the only thing falling in price seemed to be discretionary, and that's probably just a market reaction to people not spending money on them on account of necessities.
Thanks for your perspective as an economist
