The Fed Is Making Inflation Worse
Click Here to Watch.
The Fed says high interest rates are necessary to fight inflation… but what if they’re actually making things worse?
In this video, we break down why today’s inflation problem is different and why the current strategy may be missing the mark.
Inflation is no longer being driven by goods. It’s being driven by services like housing, insurance, wages, and everyday living costs. And that kind of inflation doesn’t simply come down with higher interest rates unless you force a recession.
So what’s happening instead?
Higher rates are putting pressure on the very people the Fed is trying to protect: middle and lower-income families who rely on borrowing for mortgages, car loans, and credit cards.
At the same time, rising interest rates are increasing the cost of servicing national debt, adding even more strain to the system.
The real question is: are we fixing inflation… or making it worse?
