Fed has painted themselves into a bad corner. They can't raise interest rates now enough to combat the inflation rate that we are already seeing, or it will really push us into a worse recession more quickly.

Conversely, as we continue to trend into a recession, the Fed has no wiggle room to lower rates to combat the sting of a bad recession.

Too much quantitative easing over the years will catch up eventually....

Yep.

Bloomberg and other financial news outlets are expecting the same, which is saying something because they've been in the business of downplaying Biden's disastrous economic choices.

And just like inflation was supposedly transitory, team Biden did everything they could to ignore and downplay it into the situation we're in now. They'll do the same downplaying of this recession.

Correct. Had the Fed begun rate increases a year ago, there may have been a chance to mitigate inflation, but there was too much political pressure not to put a lid on the great economic recovery brought to you by JB (really just the partial re-start of the economy that was artificially shut down most of 2020).

Inflation is so bad that the average U.S. household has to spend an extra $5,200 this year ($433/month).

The poor are really screwed.

I think this is one of the big drivers for Biden polling so badly. Rank and file people are feeling it at the gas pump and in the grocery store.

Had Brandon literally done NOTHING, the economy would still be in relatively good shape. The natural re-ignition after the government imposed shut down would have lowered unemployment. The reduced number of illegals would have kept wages a bit higher, the domestic energy industry would have kept gas prices lower.

All he had to do was nothing. He couldn't even get that right.

You're assuming this wasnt done by design bc it was. They could reverse the drilling stuff now if they wanted but they're not doing it. This is an orchestrated plan. I don't even want to know what kind of terrorism and false flags they have in store for the run up to the midterms.

Not just recession, but potentially a full blown depression.

The 30 and 5 year treasury yields inverted on Monday. 10 out of 11 times this has happened, a recession followed 8 to 24 months later and we're in the worst economic situation since the 1930s.

Real inflation based on measurements we used to use in the 80's and 90's is close to 20%.

Supply and demand will drop catastrophically and pork barrel spending isn't going to fix the problem.

Be prepared.
