  1. Real inflation on necessities for the middle and lower classes is probably running around 5% to 8%. The Federal Reserve is providing hundreds of billions of dollars in the repo market and buying treasury bonds to keep interest rates lower causing unaccounted inflation. Lower rates hurt savers and bond holders, while providing more liquidity to speculators and corporations to buy back their stocks with borrowed money, which puts corporations in a precarious situation in any economic downturn. Rates are already too low for too long.

  3. right? - The U.S. produced more oil than it consumed before the crash. Now it can't export because of excess in the world and can't sell enough oil domestically.

  4. The Fed needs to raise rates a full point next week or inflation will continue to climb.

  5. Markets are supposed to be valued by profits and output, not by a direct line from the Federal Reserve. That is why we will have inflation, we will have an industrial sector in massive debt, producing little except bonds to continue to float themselves. These huge gluttonous corporations will suck up all the capital and not have any competition because potential competitors will never be able to start up. These far corporations will become less and less efficient. We will have to rely even more on imports for goods that aren't produced here. If people outside the country can't get much from their dollars, they will demand more dollars for what they sell us. We will be like Venezuela or the old Soviet Union. A tiny elite and everyone else poor.

  19. Inequities are exasperated by Federal Reserve policy. People with corporate assets, the rich, get wealthier while everyone else pays through inflation and taxes that the wealthy avoid paying. It's not so called race or gender that's the dividing line. It's people with substantial wealth who pass along millions or billions from generation to generation and avoid paying taxes by tax breaks, corporate holdings and trusts. The idea of race was created to get the non-wealthy to fight among themselves instead of their overseers.

  21. Federal Reserve stopped hiring the best people, but hire by diversity and inclusion. This may explain why Federal Reserve has lost control of the narrative and made such horrible decisions in the past year allowing for an uncontrollable inflation cycle to start. Inflation is above Federal Fund rates, so inflation is likely to continue to grow until rates at least match inflation. Federal Reserve obviously no longer knows what it is doing as an institution.

  29. It needs to be illegal for the Federal Reserve to loan money to or recapitalize hedge funds. The Federal Reserve needs to be an organization that deals with American banks only. Remove all the legal financial advantages hedge funds have and they won't do so well. It needs to be illegal for more than one option to be sold per stock.
