The economy is addicted to low interest rates.
If the Fed raises them at all significantly the crash will be epic.
Think of it as surfing during a tsunami—the slightest move and disaster strikes.

Borrow all the money you can now on a low fixed rate and as long term as possible. Then just pay it off with inflated dollars. It’s like giving yourself a raise, and sometimes a BIG raise.

Remember when the prime lending rate was like 20% and unemployment was nearly 10%.....oh the good old days of Democratic Liberalism...they do get equity when they govern, all but the super rich get screwed equally.

...Yet the officials foresee price increases remaining tame in the following two years Shameless liar. They know damn well they inflated the currency and what is coming down the road.

This is one reason the housing markets are going crazy right now. Buyers are following this strategy--and the mortgage lenders are gonna fail _again_, and then get bailed out by the feds _again_.

“coincided with rising inflation”
instead of:
“causing rising inflation”
typical fascist leftist propaganda from AP ...

Hmmm, might get a VA loan on a property. By the time it’s paid off it might be worth what people are asking these days.

Either Powell doesnt believe a word he is saying, or he is truly a babbling idiot that doesnt know what he is doing. He sounds horrible in this alleged news conference!

Getting ready to close on a house next month, largely for that reason. The price was high, but rentals are high too. Interest rates are the last piece of the stagflation puzzle.

Think about it this way: You’ve heard all those stories about needing a wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread in Weimer Germany? Well, at that time if you had a loan on a house taken out BEFORE the inflation hit, that wheelbarrow of money would pay off your mortgage.
Or you could buy a loaf of bread. :)

Run rate inflation CPI / PPI Blend is at 8.4%.
Case Schiller home price index is >13%.
And they’re talking aboit 2023?
Nuts. This is not grandpa’s data feedback loop of several years. This is a millisecond economy that will totally overheat next month.
We’re doomed by ancient slugs at the Fed.

You have no guarantee that you will have those inflated dollars. What does history teach us?
