Tbf, the alternative would be hyper inflation and an economic depression, spawned by everyone being hired and being paid continuously depreciating paychecks. Would you rather have 1.3million suffer jobcuts or have 300million suffer a depression?shyt is not making any sense to me you want americans to be prosperous and make money, but then mad they made too much and are just saving it for a rainy day????

I mean just look at Turkey's economy. They've effectively done what your advocating and their currency is approaching toiletpaper status relative to the cost of living of average Turks. Their president refuses to raise rates because of fears of the populous misconstruing monetary policy. and this decision has decimated their economy.
And arguably its bussiness being targeted rather than individuals. Effectively making it less favorable for them to keep pumping money into their supply chains and human capital. Imagine the alternative of individuals being targeted by a govt that forces them to drop their own demand, going hungry cause they forced to buy less food, or less gas, or less homes by mandated quota. This demand will have to drop somehow, and the Fed's method is the most reasonable way to do it.
That's what happened with Covid and the free checks and then when jobs opened back up people didn't want the wages.The ideal is for Americans to make money but then spend it all immediately. Regular Americans having a healthy savings is dangerous for capitalists. They need the majority to constantly be one paycheck away from disaster.
Do you remember sometime last year when all the so-called economists were freaking out because people used their stimulus checks to pay down debt or pad their savings accounts instead of idk, going out and buying new cars and 70" TVs?
