What actually causes inflation to slow down and stop?

The complete collapse of the dollar which is imminent

Probably best to disregard anything this retard told you. When you print money with nothing to back it up it makes what you have worth less. Prices will continue to go up. The so called "inflation reduction act" was nothing more than printing more money on New Green Deal nonsense. Oh, and it was just government spending to buy votes.

lol if I told you my prof was, I have no doubt you would edit that post.

Removing the demand. You let 15 million illegal aliens into the country and giving them taxpayer money for food and shelter caused massive inflation. Remove the 15 million people you let in and the demand for food and shelter will decrease and so will the prices.

As I understood it from my economics professor, inflation happens when the money supply expands.

---

Inflation increases when demand > supply. Demand increases with money supply expansion.

That's a very good question. Stop printing or expanding the money supply faster than the natural growth of the economy. Stop overspending, contract the government. Then, the natural growth will overtake the overspending to a more natural equilibrium.

Companies will begin cutting prices to spur more sales once this hyper inflationary environment is halted. It’s how markets work.

They have to stop printing money and running such large deficits. Debt is reasonable but annual deficits like this is causing inflation. Its not hard, more money supply, more inflation.

It also increases when you let in 15 million illegal aliens and give them taxpayer money for food and shelter

Incorrect, remove 15 million illegal aliens from the country and I guarantee food and housing prices decrease.

Monetary Inflation is too much money chasing too few good. The other piece is additional costs that go into the production of goods.

For 1, higher interest rates slow debt creation which is inflationary. Keep higher rates and you see less borrowing to chase existing goods. Leas demand equals lower prices. Also, M&A and asset investing is all driven by the cost of capital….higher costs for debt then you get less of that. Our govt is creating an extra $2T of money per year in deficit spending via debt creation.

The second half is the regulatory burden that goes into the cost of goods. You tell Ford they have to average 40 mpg, the cost of your F150 goes up. You tell meat processors they have to meet new EPA guidelines, the cost of meat goes up. If the cost of electricity and fuel goes up due to Green bullshite, everything gets more expensive.

As for Congress, they can do two things.

1. Stop creating money via deficits that get pumped into the economy -ie monetary inflation. If you create an extra $2T in money via debt issuance it has an impact.

2. Reduce the regulatory mandates on industry and energy so the cost to produce goods is lower.
