US Treasuries are at risk due to Trump's proposal for cutting US debt: Give bond holders pennies on the dollar of their original investment and wipe out US debt with the part taken from bond holder's original investment that was 'defaulted'. Who's gonna touch US bonds when Trump might give back only $16,000 of your original $20,000 principal - using your $4,000 to wipe out US debt?
The Fed - not Gov't - bought debt from banks with money they themselves conjured out of thin air. No taxpayer money was needed. The Fed still owns $2.5T of our national debt, and sends $100B in interest yearly back to we the people via the Treasury.
The government has the fed print it and our government sells the debt to the world creating more debt for Americans. It is a printing press of debt that our government uses when they need more money .. That money bailed out the banks and bought all those homes in foreclosure to get them off the books of the banks.
China seems to be taking some damage from this. Should be interesting seeing how this mixes with all the upcoming changes.
Fed rates rise, so does the value of the USD. So the Yuan will be relatively weaker compared to the USD, making continued exports to the US that much easier for China.

The Fed does not print. It conjures out of thin air and exchanges for bank held debt as in QE. All inside the banking system, not for general circulation. The Fed does this through its policy. Of course as an agency of our Gov't they surely interact on policy. The Treasury is where our debt is created and sold out into the world.
The Fed was the main one to bail the banks, and not with taxpayer money. TARP may have had taxpayer money involved. All paid back, + profits as I recall. But the Fed conjured many temporary $T's in doing so. All cancelled or paid back.
Wages have gone up a little, so it's time for the bankers to come along and take it back for themselves. This rate increase will cost the typical consumer (average credit card debt, equity loan, savings etc) about $250 next year. If you were a millennial hoping to get your first house now that the economy is improved, well the payment has gone up well over $100 a month. And the bankers are planning another 3 or more increases.
