Is there a point at which the SEC could/might consider the Fed’s activities as market manipulation, or is that outside the scope of the SEC mandate?

The financial markets have been propped up since 2008.

It started off as backstopping counter-party risk, and kept expanding.

The markets are nothing but manipulation at this point. There is no market that's independent of the Fed.

Our "leaders" should have fixed this in the decade after 2008, but now we've arrived at another crisis.
