Politicians are financial morons or they are so power hungry that they don’t care.
Tools the government uses to fight inflation…
Raise Interest Rates
Hike All Taxes
Start a War.
What are the others?
Not to worry, we’ll just put the interest charges on the credit card. It can always be paid off with the increase in home equity.
If Congress would do its job and balance the budget then we wouldn’t have to worry so much about the cost of funding the debt. Fat chance of that happening though.
