Because the vast majority of the population doesn't know what that means.

And most of those who do know, are not too worried, because even if they are worried about inflation down the road, right now V is still near zero so the sky isn't falling.

But a few like you are just going bonkers! And also flagged because it's politics.

I was listening to an audiobook by Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster, and I think it has the answer to your question: people can't be outraged at an issue they don't understand. How many people in your family will have an opinion on whether the Fed should buy treasuries?

The book is "Words that Work:It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear," in case you are interested. Democrats may be too distracted by his right-wing bias to enjoy the book, but it includes great case studies.
