Dear Federal Reserve: happy 100th birthday! What better way to celebrate it than with a balance sheet that just crossed above $4 trillion, or $4.01 trillion to be precise, which represents 24% of the recently upward revised US GDP, for the first (but certainly not last) time in history. Fingers crossed that promptly after next year’s Untaper, the Fed can boast a $5 trillion balance sheet this time next year, and so on, and so forth.
