    A lot of economists believe that int rates can only bring inflation down when they exceed the rate of inflation. :eek:

    Still higher than when Trump left. Thanks Biden! It's only down 522 points. Why couldn't Trump have as high of a stock market as Biden?

    You have to admit that your post may have been a bit “premature”. I, actually, just like looking for a reason to use that term. This was a perfect opportunity.

    Poll: 63% of Americans say they are falling behind the cost of living

    NBC News released the poll, which found that 58% of Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy. Another 63% of surveyed voters say their income is falling behind the cost of living. That poll points to inflation, which has soared since Biden took office and been a political thorn in Democrats’ side.

    When you can't keep up, you put it on a credit card that just had a rate increase.

    US dollar hits new 20-year high as Russia calls up reservists | CNN Business

    People are going to find safe haven in the dollar as Russia attempts to destabilize the world, whether on purpose or not. There are a lot of factors going on in the world right now and none of them are driven off of a stimulus payment years ago.

    - Labor shortage from covid victims and older workers that retired
    - Cutback in oil production from OPEC
    - Russian war with Ukraine
    - Uneven demand patterns still reverberating in the commodity markets

    That helps low & middle wage earners?

    And Joe is not smart. He has never approached being smart.

    Question is whether Powell will be a much maligned G.W. Miller or the second coming of Volker. The right approach is to continually raise rates to get over inflation. Also debatable whether the US is the leader and the rest of the world will follow. Strong dollar means…??? The rest of the world is gonna let the US flush it’s jobs and send them elsewhere.

    Total garbage that inflation was transitory when every major economy is suffering the same fate. Biden failed on messaging. But he has the opportunity to repackage if he decides to brace for impact and fight back.

    Jobs will be lost and that is a reality that will haunt us. Dummies pumped trillions into the economy. It’s gotta come from someone’s butt. As usual, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

    Gotta fight for the poor.

    Raise it a 1000 points for all i care. The only folks that are getting hurt are Boomers that have or are getting ready to retire. Cant say I have much sympathy.
