The Fed doesn't have that power though, nor should they. That's up to congress to decide

You have to read between the lines here. They did this because there was not enough liquidity to cover the institutional sell off in the bond market. In other words, had they not done this, there very well could have been a run on the banks. That would be very very bad. You can’t fight the virus if hospitals can’t pay doctors.

I wish the Fed would give the $ back to the American people and let them decide what to do with it. The growth would be slower but it would be more genuine. This would help those most affected and would help to weed out bad actors. But I am not the Chairman...
