(24,514 posts)It just seems to me that everything the fed does is centered around a number 2.0 or 2.5 inflation rate, why?
Maybe the economy will run just fine at 3.0?
People can rig inflation. Just the talk of an Israeli/Iranian war moved oil prices to $90 a gallon. The prices of consumer goods increased during Covid because of a lack of supply, when do the prices go back down?
Negative Fed speak by the fed Minneapolis president tanked the market, now there are people talking about raising interest rates again. I am just a paranoid person I guess, what is so magical about the 2.0 inflation number?
I just learned that there has only been one Democratic Fed chair, Janet Yellen.

(24,514 posts)The only change I made was not going into debt, I pay cash for everything. I even buy organic food, um the milk tastes better.
That COLA SS raise isnt even based on what it should be. Still not totally convinced but getting there.

(10,340 posts)political propagandist. Calling him an "economist" is like saying the Republican Party is "the conservative party," or "the party of law and order." His ONLY degree is a BA in History 1969. He APPLIED to Princeton, but no MA degree. NADA. I don't think he ever actually attended. Just applied, and then put Princeton on his resume
''According to The Economist, Kudlow is "the quintessential member of the Republican Party's business wing."[7] Although in the media, Kudlow regularly comments on economic matters and served as Bear Stearns's chief economist from 1987 until 1994, he has no formal economics qualifications.[7]"
