When will the fed stop buying mortgage backed securities? When will the fed stop printing money to bail out silicon valley bank? How about everyone check out the delta of the M2 money supply. Hes just doing PR to take blame off the FED.

If the Fed cuts Fed Funds rate too soon they could actually increase mortgage rates, as the markets may increase their inflation expectations.
