The original comment was to reflect that the Fed is not monetizing the government, which is different than influencing the treasury market. The fed is influencing the market by effecting the "rate" not the "size". Just by influencing the treasury market you cannot make the logic leap that they are creating $ for the government to spend (recklessly?), or forcing the government to create more UST in order to pay back older maturing UST.
