> No it doesn't suck money out, but it reduces the rate at which new money is created through borrowing.

This is true. It does not tell me how the money created through borrowing between 0.75% rates and 4.00% rates was used to buy food and gas though.

That borrowed money was overwhelming actually used to buy equities, which the fed is obviously impacting very effectively, and not food and gas, even indirectly.
