tentative percentage bc inflation number was not as high as expected???
So whut? We have inflation? We don't have serious inflation?
The Fed monetary policy from the stone age is wrecking our economy that didn't seem all that bad. Better not screw up the November vote for us.

Tell the "easing of inflation" to the DJIA, the mortgage seekers, the car buyers, etc.

Liz Warren was on the other night and she was critical of this Fed monetary policy (which they can't seem to keep their hands off) concerning so-called inflation.
Fix the supply chain snags, fix COVID, fix corporations with $$ signs in their eyes that supply food and necessities, and like that. Not keep jacking up the interest rate. Yah, they're jacking up and we're getting jacked. Anyone can see these numbers thrown around out there do not match.
