QUESTION: What happens if you print $4.7 trillion, force it to find a home at 0% rates, then let rates rise (bonds selloff) in an uncontrolled manner?

Now on top of this, what if you create the truly risk-free asset (the reverse repo) and let $1.8 trillion of liquidity drain from the market in less than a year?

The RRP is not "excess liquidity" that will come to save the market. If money was going to come out of the repo to catch rising yields it already would have. Instead you have a reflexive risk-off liquidity trapdoor.
An "unthinkable" liquidity crisis. /4)
