Inflation
Trump in 4 years spent 2134 billions as M2. Biden in almost 2 years spent 2134 billions. I view Inflation as an economic price problem but not found within the money supply. The central banks answer however is to treat Inflation as a financial problem rather than a price dilemma. The financial answer is raise interest rates and at a time when economic risk is at stake.
Inflation's price problem is located in the supply chains or ability to bring goods to market and Oil as required to manufacture goods used in everyday products.
Until the supply chain and oil dilemma is solved, raising interest rates won't cure the Inflation price problem. Grocery stores for food for example are on rations for many products. Many stores lack ample food supplies. How would raising interest rates solve the food dilemma.
Democrats own the Longshoreman's unions since the 1930's and passage of the Wagner Act in 1935. With one phone call, democrats could end the supply chain problem today to release required supplies stranded off shore on tankers.
