Man everybody’s hiking up prices. Where’s the money gonna come from to pay these, though? Considering thanks to inflation a lot of us have to use that money for more important things like… food.
People are still paying these prices. All industries are booming. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour made like $750M. Most countries went overboard on stimulus spending during covid. To the tune of trillions of dollars. That money is still slowly making its way into the economy. I think it will take years to normalise. In the mean time, US debt is at $33T and climbing fast, meaning we should expect QE at some time in the future, exacerbating inflation further.
The prescribed solution to this mess is crystal clear: higher taxes AND reduced spending. Both. At the same time. Very important. Otherwise we should expect inflation and rates to remain high for the foreseeable future.
