This in nonsense. No such thing happens in the US. Also, as I understand, the Federal Reserve is winding down QE from the last 10+ years.
I was just highlighting a scenario of cantillon effect on the back of reserve currency status. But such a convergence of factors is possible, don't you think? Or atleast it could play out in this manner.
