""The Fed may "tolerate" higher inflation.."

...Of course they do. They don't pay for it, the tax payer does!!
Wanted to add:
The FED, owned by banks, can print money unlimited (how convenient). Now, to put value on this zero value paper, they buy debts and charge the tax payers principle plus interest. Investment and thus risk for the FED is zero, because should the tax payer default on the debts payments, the FED loses nothing. But if the banks fail, the tax payers got to bail them out, The money of course comes from the FED (owned by the banks) who just print more of that zero value paper as needed, as needed,
What a f* insane system.
