Nobody is raising interest rates to fight inflation. They’re raising interest rates to: (1) strengthen the U.S. dollar so companies repatriate capital from overseas; and (2) get investors out of their cash positions and into productive assets.

They are raising rates to slow the economy and to hurt Trump - it’s all political. And you are in favor of it.
