   Understand this about that. The FED 'says' they are raising rates. And the mechanics behind that is ‘they buy bonds’ to lower the rate, or ‘sell bonds to raise the rate’. They give a range, currently 3.75% to 4%.

   But the truth of the matter is that the tail wags the dog. It's the bond market that sets the rate and that is dependent on RISK. Since risk is rising precipitously, the rate must rise, so the bond market is putting upwards pressure on rates as bond holders want to be compensated for the risk they are taking.

   The FED then is capping rates. The FED will be there as the buyer of last resort, taking on the risk to prevent rates from accurately reflecting the risk to the system. The FED is not under rates pushing up…. They are on top pushing down.

   The FED makes big announcements about raising rates, but in reality they are holding back the beast and announcing how much ground they will give up as they are put back on their heels.

   Yesterday, the FED hit the PANIC BUTTON. The markets, bonds and stocks, were at the precipice edge. And the beast was going to push them over. So they hit the RED button and blew up the US dollar. Thus, the bond market was jumped to the top offering the Chinese full price for US assets which are junk and full of risk.

   The rate plunged into the FED's announced range.

   Will the FED pivot? Ha, they never moved in the first place, they are still QE ing. And they will QE X3 just to keep rates under 10%.

   Brandon doesn't Care, Mayorka doesn't Care, Garland Doesn't Care, Soris and Demoncratic Party doesn't Care. They should be removed by Military. They hate America and should be removed and deport them to Mexico and keep working for the Cartels. Real Americans Vote Now and Stand up to Corruption. 💪13

   Having had the Federal Reserve since the recession of 2008 has been a fiscally fatal mistake. Had the free markets determined interest rates, in the absence of increasing the money supply, the economy would have been in a position to make it through these times. In fact, one wonders, would we even have had a substantial shut down for the length of time during covid. That's another topic. Why such a hurry to move to an all green energy at the expense of crippling our fossil fuel industries? People may believe its to save the planet, but that's just wrong. The reset comes about as the economy is bankrupted and people have no choice but to accept the alternatives to survive. The statement that "you will have nothing and be happy", shows the determination of self righteous elitists to tear down what was left since the pandemic. The Fed is only window dressing the inevitable failure of the US economy. That other economies will and are failing is no coincidence. When you hear that the Petrol dollar is no longer, recognize that you better have enough non perishable food to last for a period of time, before some voucher plan is put in place of the former US dollar. This can happen, folks. We are so close to the brink of bank failures that its difficult to know when this will occur. Food, shelter, water are needed for survival. Everything else is only necessary under the current system. Today, things seem expensive, but relatively ok, to most people. Pay close attention to Treasury auctions, bond prices and relationship between the US dollar and other currencies. Listen to the Fed with an open mind, but recognize they put us in this position to a large degree. Learn about the concept of a doom loop as it relates to rates, servicing the debt and ineffectiveness of anything the Fed does from that point until US currency collapse.

   Bank rate increases do not control inflation. Higher mortgages, loans, interest repayments by governments, reduction in business investment and higher overheads do not cause price reductions apart from businesses seeing falling sales that reduce prices to attempt to improve cash flow to stay in business. With lack of confidence in the future and falling sales, more business will close, unemployment will rise placing more costs on governments to provide unemployment and housing benefits. This all reduces government spending on services, benefits and state pensions! Bank rate increases just reduce the disposable income left after paying regular expenses (Which also keep increasing at the moment!). Who benefits? The banks and the salaries and bonuses of the bosses as well as the super-rich with large deposits in the banks!

    Inflation has nothing to do with wage increases, so who is making the profit?

    Fed is creating inflation by raising rates. Property owners will raise rent to cover the rising interest rate. That’s why raising interest rate will not curb inflation. Rent is the biggest expense. This guy is an idiot and extreme.

    Powell and Democrat politicians have intentionally created HUGE inflation. Inflation is much higher than the official government reports. Inflation makes all the economic numbers go up, so politicians say there is not a recession; but millions of Americans cannot afford the basics that are necessary for a normal life.

    Everyone raises prices and points the finger. Business owners like myself talk BS to all you customers and blame it on everything else when in reality total costs of business operations barely increased and my profits are almost double from last year. I’ll never lower prices and no one either will. In any large city there is an unlimited amount of consumers/customers so it doesn’t matter if some people don’t buy as much as they once did. People really done care and spend spend spend.

    I see 2-3yrs recession. Fed will raise interests if inflation doesn't peak. Inflation is producing a slew of problems throughout the world, including food shortages, diesel and heating fuel shortages, and housing prices and financial market crash. This global collapse might end up being a part of us for a very long time. With inflation currently at about 9%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

    Fed monetary policy is ineffective. No amount of interest rate raises will control inflation. The real driver of inflation is man-made shortage of fossil fuel. Until grandpa and Dems are voted out of office, the economy will continue to nose dive.
