Tame inflation or keep the markets up – what to do, what to do? This is the position the Federal Reserve, along with some other major central banks, are contending with. It’s been an open secret for years that the Fed is beholden to the credit and stock market. However, the Fed now finds the economy in an inflationary environment. One way to combat inflation would be to raise interest rates significantly to match or exceed the current rate of inflation, which is at 7.5 percent. Doing so, however, will surely bring down the credit markets and with it the stock market. Yet, not contending with inflation, will only make the inflation that much worse and will last that much longer. Inflation is a regressive and hidden tax that impacts the most economically vulnerable among us the worst. This also ties into massive wealth inequality that is one for the record books. So coupled together with persistent and high inflation along with massive wealth inequality sets the stage for massive political instability, protests, and revolutions, which will be experienced the world over. This is not just a problem for the USA, but for the world.
