Looks like they have trapped themselves here... they absolutely cannot do QT as it will send interest rates higher and crash the market.
The congressional clown circus has tasked the fed with both stimulating the economy and controlling inflation. Those tasks are mutually exclusive. The newly passed tax cuts along with the budget busting federal spending will put the fed in a double bind. I can see no good coming out of this predicament.
