I’m no economist, but the cure for inflation is usually to raise interest rates. If we decide we need to do that, we are in excellent shape to take the action.

That’s a tradition, not a cure.

The cure is to keep the economy growing and productive.

Look at places like Zimbabwe and Venezuela as examples. They lost economic productivity and had shortages.
