There is always two sides to money. The fed pays government workers, the other side is the worker’s labor. Fed buys bonds, the other side is the bond. Fed sells a bond, it destroys the money it receives back. fed buys gold, the other side is the gold. the other side is as much responsible for the money creation as the fed. Fed doesn’t unilaterally create money.
