I swear some of you..will you please just read..
Did you not just read my response and still chose to type those words out...?
We printed out TRILLIONS for the pandemic response..yeah, those PPP loans, unemployment checks, etc. There was a COST to that. The resulting inflation we have NOW is because we PRINTED like mad men ONLY three years ago.
For the Federal Reserve, RIGHT NOW, to tame the inflation we have AT THIS MOMENT..they'll need to raise rates till the economy buckles, demand craters due to job losses, corporate earnings diminish and the such to create DEFLATION. We're already heading into an economic superstorm without this bullshyt with banks! If you ask the Federal Government to bail out banks AGAIN in this environment..it only amplifies the pain to the economy which will be felt IMMEDIATELY.
You already have BRICS challenging the USD and moving quickly to create a new monetary system to replace the current one ruled by the Dollar RIGHT NOW. You have China carefully, as discreetly as possible offloading their Treasury holdings month after month, the Saudis openly contemplating leaving the Petrodollar agreement and joining BRICS RIGHT NOW. There is tremendous pressure on the USD right now..you honestly think we would be able to backstop a collapse of our banking system AGAIN without international holders of our watered down dollars saying "fukk this, I'm cashing out."?
True, but it's not just that. A lot of companies, and people, took the opportunity to become highly leveraged during the historic low interest rates. As rates rise they feel the pinch. But increased rates are designed to curb spending and promote savings (simplistic characterisation). When the public do that there's not the projected income these companies expected so they struggle to service their debt, on which payments have likely increased if not a fixed rate for a fixed term. If they don't have cash on hand to weather the storm they end up fukked. As these entities fight for survival they'll cannibalise each other in a race to the bottom to get revenue through the door until their model collapses.
Big business will buy up what has value to them. The rest of the carcass will be scavenged by those that can turn their business model to making money out of the bones. There'll be less competition, big business will raise prices under the pretense of increased costs just because, and the proletariat will foot the bill as the super rich get more rich.
Gonna get scary out here.
