Fed Still Asleep At The Switch On Inflation

With 7% consumer price inflation and 10% producer price inflation, can someone please explain WHY the Fed continues to purchase tens of billions of dollars of government bonds and mortgage-backed securities every week?

The Fed balance sheet has sky-rocketed from $4 trillion in 2019 to close to $8.5 trillion today. Fed purchases of mortgages make no sense, given that we have the hottest housing market in years. Is Jerome Powell TRYING to inflate another 2006-style real estate bubble? Kudos to Fed governor Esther George for calling for the central bank president Jerome Powell to cut the Fed balance sheet in addition to raising rates.
