I agree with this. Basically the fed 'rescued' the system in 2008 by injecting capital into the system.

However, this 'rescue' became the norm and they decided to continue easy money policy for the next 14-years. Now, here we are! This has been a concern for a long time now.

Rates were being raised before the pandemic. Don't you remember all the complaining by the President?

What is fundamentally concerning about a central bank injecting capital into the system? If anything, you could say the same thing about fiat currency and fractional reserve banking as a whole. Money comes from nowhere!
