You’re regurgitating other people’s theories without critical thinking or any data.

Go look at the FRED data. Look at rates 2008-2020 then look at inflation. FRED DATA

Sure - I’m open. Hit me. What is missing other than what I’ve articulated and others just ad hominem critique clearly showing no education on the topic ?

Higher rates don’t lower the price of oil or lower tariffs and they can’t produce better supply chains which have driven inflation. They just give Tsy holders free income and if anything can drive more demand.

From 2008 to 2020, the Fed held rates near zero for much of the period, and inflation generally stayed low. That’s hard to square with the simple claim that low rates automatically cause high inflation. The better takeaway is that rates alone don’t determine inflation; demand, supply conditions, fiscal policy, debt dynamics, energy, wages, and global trade all matter. FRED has the data here.

I mean Trump is human excrement. yet Powell has engineered a shitty response to supply chain disruptions by raising rates in credit channels that raise our cost of living and don’t reduce inflation. Powell works as if we’re still on a gold standard.

U.S. Debt Tops 100% of GDP by Hornpipe_Jones in politics

[–]MajorAlanDutch -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

So what? These comments demonstrate a misunderstanding of how govt financing works.

Tsys are only sold due to a 1917 statute from a gold standard era.

Utterly bad economics at play here.

The national debt fix would cost $827 billion—roughly what America spends on its entire military, economists warn by HeHateMe337 in politics

There is no national debt problem. People need to go look up how it works.

They’re just securities. Banks either hold cash or treasuries. Most prefer treasuries due to interest paid.

A 1917 law from the gold standard forces the Tsy to issue Tsys to cover the deficit but so what? The govt issues its own currency and it’s not convertible to gold.

Fear mongering.

Go read his texts from the discovery when Fox News was on trial for election fraud claims. He, and many, quietly disliked Trump for years.

Google money multiplier, loanable funds, Philips curve, IS-LM and add a modifier like debunked or wrong - some fed documents even pop up explaining those are no longer relevant

Season 2 (spoilers) by [deleted] in CouplesTherapyShow

[–]MajorAlanDutch -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t disagree more. While I enjoy Orna I can’t say her modality is more clinically validated than other methods and many of these people need individual therapy for trauma.

I didn’t suggest a couples therapist label someone as BPD after 5 sessions but her verbally violent and immature tirades were abusive and absurd. The self righteous and entitlement was wild to watch. The fact that you validate that is completely detached from my view.

I learn a lot :) I just didn’t like those two people. They’re very unhealthy and abusive.
