In 2011, the Fed purchased over 60% of all the treasuries issued by the government. A recent Bloomberg comment notes the Fed now owns over 37% of all treasuries with maturities greater than 5-years.

This is certainly a path that is unsustainable before reaching a tipping point. In order to continue down this path, the dollar printing press will need to run at full speed with an end result a further weakening of the U.S Dollar and consequent higher inflation.
