> FED can NOT raise rates. The debt is too high!!! <

I think you and TexasGator are right about that. The Fed will accept the risk of high inflation in order to keep Congress’s borrowing costs low.

That will work until it doesn’t. Then look out below!

As a side note, I’ve read that blue-chip companies do okay in periods of high inflation. And that’s because they can raise prices easier than most other companies can. I don’t know how true that is, but maybe it’s something woth considering investment-wise.

My experience since 1962 says, the best strategy is to start buying long term bonds during high inflation period, because they must pay ugly high dividends during high inflation. When inflation tapers off, as it always has in the past, bond values go up AND you are still getting those high dividends.
