Question: Do you really think the FED will raise rates?

I know this is discussed frequently on here, but wanted to gather your input. Do you actually think the Fed will carry on with its plan to raise rates? Even though it can potentially trigger a stock market correction/housing correction? If this scenario plays out, I can see it making Biden/Democrats even more unpopular heading into the midterms. On the other hand, if the Fed doesn't raise rates and remains complacent, inflation could continue raging. Either way, it seems like Biden/Democrats/the Swamp are on the losing end of this.

Prices are over-inflated EVERYWHERE.

Over $600/sq ft in my ‘hood. Blackrock and Invitation Homes are rumored to be gobbling up SFH and turning SoCal into one giant rental market. Very bad public policy IMO.

We survived Volcker's tough love when others had waited around too long.

Yup. Way overdue to take away the punch-bowl.

I wonder if we will see double digit Treasury yields again. I’m ready for it if we do.

We’d need some Biden/Harris levels of incompetence to get rates up to double digits.
