Of course they are raising rates, do you know what the primary role of the fed is?
Inflation while bad is not the killer it’s been hyped to be, if we had inflation and no growth then you have stagflation that’s the killer.

They won’t raise them enough to stop it. Think back to how high they had to go to get rid of far, far less excess cash in the Reagan era.

Raising rates alone won’t stop it of course, it has to come with the healing of supply chain the two combined will lower inflation.
And do you know how long it’s going to take for interest rates to kill inflation?
Last time, it took awhile, which means you will have the stagflation you fear in the meantime.
Good thing I’m in a recession proof business…no matter what the economy does, you will always need to eat!
Nice, but somehow it does not feel like almost 7% growth. If I was the Brandon admin, I’d end as much covid kookery as possible before the midterms. That would make the economy boom!

Excellent idea. South Africa, UK and Denmark have ended all Covid restrictions; we need to do the same and I don’t care who it benefits politically.

Thing is I don’t know if government mitigation measures are helping anymore at all.
Looking and comparing charts in places like Austria, Sweden, Florida, California, etc… all appear to have been going through same ebbs and flows of Covid regardless of mandates and lockdown measures.

Not at all, it’s a good thing. Before you© start crowing about percentages, think.
2020 changed the world. 7% increase of 1 or 4% increase of 4-which is greater?
