Let's investigate the relationship between the Fed's QE program, bank lending, and alleged stockpiling of cash
The best way of looking at things is a month-by-month take since the beginning of the recession.
Since May of 2020, bank loans and leases, and commercial loans have shrunk in a continuous fashion. Both are barely above where they were pre-Covid-19.
Is this all we get out of expansion of the Fed's balance sheet by $3.7 trillion, from $13.4 trillion to $17.1 trillion coupled with trillions of dollars of stimulus from Congress?
I am afraid so. And it means businesses just do not want to expand.
