Yes, where did the mention the culprits- Bernanke/Yellen/Powell. I still can’t fathom why they kept buying bonds even as far out as they did. They could have easily raise the rates in 2011, they didn’t.

For example, why did the Fed went out of their way last year calling it transitory?

Likely due to the doctrine that talking about "a cluster and time period of negative sentiment and contracting investment" is capable of being the impetus for "a cluster and time period of negative sentiment and contracting investment"
