Despite the Fed's reluctance to ease, the Government's desperation to inflate led them to ramp up actual money printing, since that's a US Treasury function.

"As of June, the money supply appears to be, for now, in a period of stabilization."
A period of stablization, with inflation so high?
People are getting unrestful with this.
