Nonilex…The wrinkle in the effort is the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DebtCeiling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DebtCeiling</a>, which limits how much the government can borrow. Faced with this roadblock, the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Treasury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Treasury</a> is using cash from its account at the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Fed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fed</a> to pay bills, which is adding liquidity into the system. When the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/debt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debt</a> ceiling is raised, assuming that happens, the Treasury will likely seek to rebuild its account, which will take liquidity back out of the system.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inflation</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpol</a>
