The Fed’s tool bag is limited when Congress spends money like it was free China Virus vaxxes.

The Fed keeping interest rates articfially low and refusing to taper off bond buying is directly contributing to the problem.

This won’t happen, because to admit that we have rampant inflation is to admit that this disaster happened on their watch, and to admit that their economic fantasies have failed.

They’ll never do that. Instead, they’ll blame someone else, as usual. Probably Trump, or Trump voters, or the unvaccinated, etc.

Of course, because the people who benefit from inflation are the people who get the money right off the printing presses, before it has lost purchasing power, aka “bankers”.

Imagine the Fed starts to raise rates (forget the “narrative”, that is all b&^%s&^% for the brain-dead financial press anyway).

What happens next.

You know.

I know you know. :-)

That is why they don’t raise rates!

They still won't call the border crisis a border crisis. I'm not sure they even use the words Islamist terrorist. They are big on "words" so they make words up, or in Fauci's case he disputes the meaning of words, like gain of function.

Dave Chappelle said on his recent special: “I know trans people like to make up words to win arguments”. Well, he was right about that, but it’s not just trans people, it’s the whole radical left.

This can’t be right. Today US Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index rose this month.

Of course. All us consumers seeing empty shelves in stores, paying a buck more a gallon of gas than last year, watching grocery and electric bills climb are optimistic as hell.

Beating the gold price down $20 was simply a coincidence.

El-Erian is sharp but also never misses a glass half empty and can be the boy that cried wolf.

“The Biden Democrats continue to fiddle while working families burn.”

Always true of Democrats. They kill the poor and cuss the rich while helping the rich get richer. They know where the money comes from and they know how to put on a show.

The FED runs nothing. The Bond Market calls the shots. Watch Bonds. The Bond Market is bigger than the FED, when the Bond Market walks off into higher rates the FED has to follow.

Did you read it?

It total wishful thinking and buzz words This is another example of a media figure using their political agenda to taint their forecast. They desperately want the Biden muli trillion spending spree to continue so they are manufacturing rationalization to justify it.

This is the same group Leftists Economist who keep pushing the dogma that “inflation is transitory”

They been wrong about everything. Why do you think suddenly now they are right?

Apprently she still living in the 1970s when industry ran on stockpiles

She clearly has no understanding of how much has changed now that everything is being done with Just in Time logistics.

Actually no they don’t.

What they have done is successfully conned the gullible into investing in trendy gimmicks like “self driving cars” and “electric vehicles”

She not actually soundly invested in anything that can work with out the “green energy” subsides being poured out by Governments world wide.

She is a parasite riding the government money grave train.

Unfortunately a high percentage of Americans have no idea what actually causes price increases, they seem to think that the government can continuously create “money” out of thin air without doing any harm. They imagine that government is in business to SOLVE problems which government actually creates in the first place. We have millions of people in this country who know less about reality than the average ten year old used to understand.
