Yes. Would you beleive I agree with that (maybe you would if you actually read your own comments)

You stated that receiving coupon payments from the Treasury reduces liquidity. How? I don’t know. But you said it.

Buying more Treasuries makes the fed receive larger coupon payments. Are you saying that process reduces liquidity?

That’s my only question.
