I 100% agree that the Fed's actions are troubling and it's boxed itself into a corner, and has very ineffective tools for what it's trying to do, but ... This injection isn't really comparable because those other things are expenditures, while the 1.5t refers to short-term loans to very creditworthy borrowers. It really doesn't come at the cost of providing universal healthcare.
