Right. I noted that the text outside the table only refers to 1.1 trillion and ignores the table showing the aggregated number. Sanders jumped on the latter, which I think is misleading and impairs our credibility when we adopt it for propaganda purposes. There are plenty of other ways to nail the Fed on how and where it directed its efforts.
