Who is buying the US BOND market?

The entire global banking system. This is the only form of high quality and pristine collateral. There is nothing else out there. That is why TBill rate at the auction are far below the RRP floor.

It is supply and demand. Even with Japanese selling their bonds for USD, which shows how much of a shortage there is, it does not make up for the shortfall of collateral that took place since 2008. The GFC zapped the entire financial system and it hasnt recovered since.

You want to get rid of inflation? Well the Central banks certainly do not want to. They prefer crushing the economy and destroying demand which seems to be better for 'inflation'.

This is interesting. How do you propose the central banks like the Fed solve this problem? They didnt cause the "inflation" situation since this is not monteary. It is a supply chain issue that still is not resolved. Yet people expect the Fed to solve it.

What do you propose they do?

I guess if you can print money from nothing anything can be done!

Actually central banks really cant. They do not create the digitla version of our currencies. Hence, what they can produce is either banknotes which are useless to the commercial banking system since nobody settles in them or bank reserves which are not legal tender.

So what money are they really printing?
