The Fed's budget increased by 5.6% in 2020 to $4.7 billion (CPI officially is under 2%). In December the Fed announced it would publish monetary statistics monthly instead of weekly: we pay more and get less (just like products in the grocery store).

The Fed has a mandate to achieve price stability. As a result of banking subsidies (legal tender laws, FDIC, TBTF, Greenspan put), housing subsidies (GSEs), and “deregulation” of bank profits, home prices double from 1999 to 2006. A member of the FOMC reacts:

Thus stands revealed the naked absurdity of the stabilization policy: as in the 1920s, the Fed doesn’t care if the prices it is stabilizing make sense and, in trying to maintain them, does not even know, as the FOMC member put it, “do we move rates up or down?”
