It seems to me that the Fed's interest rate lever is a very blunt instrument that will do disproportionate damage mostly to those who can least afford it. The DC Swamp printing money like there is no tomorrow was a big factor that has been somewhat reigned in now. One of the big remaining factors is the supply chain which Brandon's clutch seems to try to sabotage at every turn.

He is signaling what everyone already knows, interest rates are going up again.

It's amazing how unwilling people have been to embrace the obvious.

I know this may sound like a dumb argument but with the issues with the debt ceiling wouldn’t the Fed increasing interest rates keep increasing the debt payments on the US national debt.

At what point does the Fed realize that they are making the US debt problem worse by increasing rates.

At the rate we are going, the treasury is doing transfers on treasuries is like a person doing a balance transfer from one credit card to another, but instead of chasing a lower rate the rates keep increasing hence making the debt problem worse.

I know the Fed is trying to get a handle on inflation rates, but what success has that done by increasing interest rates. As interest increases and the debt continues to grow, eventually the US will not receive enough in taxes to cover interest on the debt. What will the US do then?

The market is betting on a pause actually. We are at a 30% chance for a rate hike and a 70% chance for a pause.

I saw something related back in the 1970's NYC. The City had borrowed so much for "social engineering" with the promise of great future rewards, that debt maintenance alone resulted in over a decade of neglect of the most basic infrastructure. Lucky the bridges didn't fall into a pothole.

Why would you say that when the market is almost always right in regards to rate hikes?

The CBO is projecting that with the current trajectory of spending, debt servicing will surpass Medicaid and Defense spending within 10-15 years (Social Security would likely not be far behind).

Once we reach a point where debt servicing is outpacing Defense spending, I don't think there's any way back from that as Congress has proven time and again it won't cut total spending (only the rate of spending growth).

They also have to increase the interest rate to attract buyers to treasuries, no?
