Well, the main way to stop inflation is to stop QE and raise interest rates. This will almost assuredly cause a recession.


I believe we are looking at probably two interest rate hikes next year


The tapering of the QE is just starting and won't hit zero until June or July of 22.

It's already being floated that 2 interest rate hikes will happen next year. I wonder how the markets will react.

LOL! I lied...I know how the markets will react.

So in your mind, our only options are recession or inflation?

The easy and obvious solution is to reverse all of the.bans on drilling, production and pipelines in the oil and gas industry. The increase in energy costs are one of the biggest drivers of inflation if not the biggest.

It would lower cost and increase employment. This would stimulate the economy and lower inflation. It’s that simple.

Also love how the White House says we don’t want to or we won’t influence the fed, but at the same time will say I don’t care if it’s un constitutional, or we’re pulling all levers.. it’s all just bs talk from the life long politicians… and most of them can afford million dollar houses on the beach and still tell us it’s the 1% rich people who’s fault this is, just give us a billion or so of your taxes and we’ll get it back we just need a few more irs employees…. ooooook dude.

An America First policy on supply chain lines can only supply enough goods at any one point. Eventually, you’ll hit a wall where supply cannot keep up with demand

My sentiments exactly. It will be a balancing act requiring a deft Fed Chairman coordinating with an intelligent administration to walk back the China-US partnership without spurring inflation.

If Bush hadn’t been so busy trying to bring democracy to the Middle East maybe he could have started the process back then. God knows Obama was too stupid and feckless - Ethelred the Unready, him.
