Everything you hate about the economy is a direct or indirect effect of our COVID policies. We suffer from “long economic COVID” and will not solve the inflation issue until we understand what got us here.
Inflation is very simply defined as too much money chasing too few goods. Our government decided to spend and then print more money (by a mile) than ever before while shutting down supply chains! Now we are dealing with endless long-term debt and the expense of servicing it, which is inducing even more inflation, forcing interest rates up, and creating the housing crisis we are living with today.
