Yellen is issuing huge gobs of Bills (short term).

A Bill with a duration of 3mths is almost = to cash or pure money printing. Of course paying the interest currently accelerates the interest payments value, necessitating ever more debt...hence why we are now through the $35 Trillion mark and accelerating.

OMG
