Inflation was created by policies from
the Fed yet you expect them to use the same said policies to correct it? That’s cute! The current inflationary pressures are from energy prices. The only thing raising rates would do is increase credit card interest rates and drive up mortgage rates for already struggling buyers. It wouldn’t do a thing to core inflation prices. I am glad you aren’t in charge of monetary policy

Think 2008 x 2 +
People have no idea what is coming.
All based on refinances (Corp bonds too) that were artificially low rates in the sub-3% for years
Now a 6.7% rate is unaffordable
Seeing Baws with 20+ years with companies getting screwed all over. And it is just a bare tip of the iceberg

The only people who would benefit from a rate hike are all cash buyers who 99.9% of the time are real estate investors and credit card company management

US $ might as well fold up. Petro $ dying. 40 trillion in debt dying $
Raising rates only helps the 1% who pick trillions of dollars of bones from the backs of the lower upper and middle classes. People who work. That is who gets screwed the most.
No country in the world has “poor people” walking around with free food, medical, cell phones, housing (affordable housing is not a hut with dirt floors, no water and power), etc.

Sad. Isn’t it.
Remember growing up in school. Even in elementary school, the class started the day with pledge of allegiance
Even had religion taught in a non-denominational school too.
We were raised to be grateful for and love the blessings of this country.

Credit card and vehicle loan delinquencies are where I look.
Go look at the current number of mortgages and student loans that are over 90 days delinquent. Not good. Government backed FHA mortgages are approaching 6% delinquent.
How about those student loans, how are they doing?
quote:
Key Delinquency and Default NumbersSeverely Delinquent Borrowers: Around 3.62 million borrowers are severely delinquent.
Total in Default: About 9.5 million people (roughly 1 in 5 federal borrowers) are in full default, meaning they are more than nine months behind.
Delinquent Balances: Nearly 10% of total active student loan balances are at least 90 days delinquent
Things are setting up for another Financial/Banking Meltdown shite Show

I don’t think it’s in great shape, but there is a lot of gaslighting that all is well. I’m not sure that lowering rates after we seemingly just got out of an inflationary jam is the answer (and this thread is some evidence we are not out of it).
At some point, we just have to take recession/deflationary hit. We can’t have low interest rates until the end of time.

You could have 1% interest rates if we cut spending and ran a balanced budget. Meddling with interest rates isn’t going to solve 30 trillion in debt because that is the real driver of inflation in the US not interest rates

That made it illegal to produce goods and services. Then created a lot of money on the magic money machine. What did they think would happen?
This was not “transient” as that treasury secretary said.
I wouldn’t mind deflation on some things.

Prices are definitely coming down in the housing market. We’ve seen inventory sitting much longer, with folks cutting $100,000 to $125,000 off their asking prices. Now, they may have started out overpriced, but it’s definitely not a seller’s market.
I saw today a reduced listing for 206 acres of deer and duck hunting land in the delta. Tupelo gum brake with private boat ramp, lake, cabin site and 3 old fish ponds with a well to flood for ducks. A little over 3k an acre, I haven’t seen farm or hunting land in the delta sell for that low in years, usually would easily fetch a million plus

2% isn't price stability either. The idea that prices can be centrally planned is fricking insane.

Yep, it's for good in the long run to have a correction in prices, which means recession and loss of jobs.
I will say though that if you really got every illegal immigrant out and slashed the H1B program you may could limit the loss of jobs for true Americans.
