The stamina for price hikes that Americans have is absurd. It means inflation is sticky and very difficult to dislodge.


The latest CPI report tanked the markets. It was very bad. It clearly shows inflation is being driven by excessive demand as well as an overly tight labor market and not so much due to supply constraints. Yes, the labor market is too hot. Unemployment also needs to go back up to reduce the strangle the labor market has on inflation.

The fed is now raising interest rates and quantitative tightening to remove money and liquidity from the economy. Costs to borrow are skyrocketing. It will bring down asset values, remove.miney from the system, and hopefully cause unemployment to go up. The net result will hopefully be taming of this terrible inflation.

So, you are basically saying that having peasants have more money, assets, and control in the labor market is bad. I see. Too much money in the hands of regular people is bad, they feel too comfortable, start demanding things, spending, and don't want to work too hard or work at all. It's great that there is little wealth for the people and when they are outbidding each other for crappy wages en masse, right?

Except everything is opposite of what you are wasting your breath over. The 'peasants' actually have LESS real money now because of inflation. That's what feeble minds like yours cannot comprehend - the fact that more money =/= more wealth and buying power. Need proof?

Real earnigns are decreasing. What simp minds like your cannot understand is that if the labor market is too hot, wages rise too fast. Do you think business owners eat the losses? No, they'll just increase prices, which ultimately causes wage-price spirals. In the end, sure, wages rise, but actual real earnigns go down and all you're doing in the process is ruining everyone's entire life's savings in the process, thereby decreasing wealth for everyone in the middle class. The Fed is actually extraordinarily concerned with data showing a decline in real earnings, because it is bad for Americans. An overly tight labor market they is not productive is actually terrible for the economy and everyone in the country because wage price spirals will crush savers.

Wage-price spirals are good for homeowners.

At $2.2 trillion, the CARES Act stands as the largest financial rescue package in U.S. history. The 2009 Recovery Act was $831 billion, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) was $910 billion, and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) comes closest at $1.9 trillion.”

Don’t believe the stupid Republican shitty explanation given above.
