The Fed is politicized. They won’t raise rates to where they should be knowing it will precipitate a recession no later than the 3rd quarter just in time for the midterms.

Yeah it is called a recession or worse. Could have stagflation for decades like the Japanese. In the meantime millions of invaders pour across the border taking jobs and depressing wages. Another three years of open borders.
