Manipulation of the market never comes for free.

You just delay, and render unpredictable, the eventual reckoning, for short-term benefits.

After a century, those short-term benefits add up to a long term benefit.

Manipulating the market is literally the job of both the Treasury and the FOMC. It’s how we enact monetary policy.
