This.
And whatever they say is the solution, the exact opposite is what we really need to do.

If the cost of borrowing money goes down, more people can buy houses…
and more companies can move ahead with their growth and development plans

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
Why do you want higher rates when we're running deficits in the face of a $35T debt? As was pointed out previously:
Every 0.5% change in interest rates corresponds to a $175BILLION difference in our National Debt cost-of-carry. Recession further cuts revenue.
Meanwhile, we are approaching fiscal dominance.

At some point this country needs to truly face real economic pain because of how our country has been managed. We’ll have this conversation a year from now and the debt will be 40T.
To course correct this country needs somewhat Volcker rates and cuts across the board.
However, no politician is going to do that because it’s not an electable strategy.

Volcker rates

Volcker rates would creat a larger federal debt. Interest on the debt would skyrocket even more.

Powell really needs a ' come to jesus ' moment with Street
ISM data was very strong across the boards this morning
He needs to make Street write 50,000 times on chalkboards
" the S&P 500 is NOT the economy "
&
" the Yen carry trade is NOT the US economy "
