If I'm remembering 2008 correctly, the Fed bought bundles of "distressed" assets off of the banks at roughly pre-recession market prices and claimed that they were going appreciate over time (when everybody knew they were going to remain worthless).
I guess we can call this ''reflating'' the bubble. That's what they'll do again.
