Well if you like 10-14% home and car loans you are in for a treat!


That's frightening for people that will be looking to purchase homes in the next few years.

We elected Reagan in 1984 and while there wasn’t deflation there was a rapid slowing of inflation.

I’m not sure this train is controllable now given the national debt and deficit spending America is addicted to.

Not for those paying cash and taking advantage of the much needed correction in housing prices.

Great to hear for millenials. It's not like they haven't faced economic adversity in their adult lives...

This is the best thing Biden has done for student loans. You get to pay them back with inflated dollars.

I don't know if you can run from this. This is going to be felt and repeated everywhere.

It is worse than 7%.

And this train has no destination. They won't raise rates to any meaningful level as government is running its gravy train--spending won't stop from government.

Inflation is here to stay. The last leg of a once proud Republic is upon us. Next stop is the wreck.

I think it’s kind of an odd take that mortgages becoming “effectively smaller” would be considered an erosion of wealth


I worded it poorly. Inflation erodes the value of your savings/investments. That's the "erosion of wealth."

But high inflation has the effect of making loans (and mortgages) less of a liability.

This assumes your paycheck has increased at the same rate. Don’t know about yours but I haven’t seen a raise in two plus years

if there's one thing all Trump supporters disagree with him on, it was his spending.

yes. and you accepted it

what should have he done instead? he wasn’t pressured by both sides to pass it? congress wouldn’t have past the payments themselves if he didn’t? would Biden not have passed it?

in short: you point is dumb, real dumb.

Trump handed out 1/3 of what Biden did, and only did it while we were actively shut down. Biden just slung money around left and right with no thought behind it. Equating them is something only a fool would do.

Everyone who voted Democrat voted for this.

Why? Trump pressured the fed to drop the fed rate 3 times in late 2019, to prop up his stagnating economy. By March 2020 rates were dropped to 0%, and then he started giving away trillions. He sent us down this unavoidable path to inflation. Biden sure af hasn't done anything to correct it, but he's not why we got there.
