We indeed could turn the money off.
When the federal government controls such a huge piece of the economy, of course people will
have an incentive to spend money to get a piece of the action or input into the process.
And they're allowed to by the Constitution.
So no, you can't.
We most certainly could turn off the money the Federal Reserve is pumping into the markets.
OK. What does that have to do with the First Amendment?

Government spending that improves some market investments, allows for a quid pro quo.
It essentially can be buying votes.
It allows candidates to effectively be able to say, "contribute to my campaign, and I will ensure your profits double after I am elected".
The Federal Reserve pumping can be used to selectively benefit a few.
Yup, too much government meddling results in spending to influence that meddling.
And?
