So equities just keep rising forever, regardless of the "worth" of each traded company?
Things like P/E ratios don't matter anymore? There is no "worth" of a company- it's always just "come back in a year and it will magically be worth 5-10% more?"
Am we supposed to believe that's the situation?

And incidentally, the Fed isn't the only entity that sets interest rates. Government spending is financed by an actual marketplace in long-term bonds, for which you need an actual living, breathing buyer willing to buy that extra $100 billion in debt that Congress just incurred.
Are we supposed to believe there's an infinite number of those buyers? Of course there aren't.
And when the government has to start paying larger interest rates on long-term debt, stocks will suddenly stop being the only show in town for a good return on your investment, which will likely result in a huge dive in the market.

How could the Fed buying long-term treasury bonds, which represent money actually being put into the economy through spending (and not just on the asset sheet of some bank) possibly not cause inflation?
Why would the Fed go against it's prime directive of fighting inflation and do that? Well, I guess I know the answer to that one- political pressure.
But even if you get the Fed to do that, it's still dropping money from a helicopter into the actual, real world economy, and that's different and much more inflationary than what the Fed did after the credit crisis several years back.
And inflation causes recessions.
