#^A former top Obama economist throws cold water on the Biden administration's favorite inflation argument: 'Corporate greed is a bad theory'

"Corporate greed is a bad theory of inflation," Jason Furman, a former top economist for President Barack Obama, said in an interview, adding, "I think almost everything other than the Federal Reserve is a sideshow when it comes to the dynamics of inflation."

Politically unwinnable decision at hand:

1. Taper/raise rates & make folks poorer by cratering markets, home prices & economy

In case anyone has been fooled by this, when the Federal Reserve says our current higher inflation is "temporary", they don't mean that prices will go back down after this temporary period. They mean that prices will return to a slower rate of increase after a temporary period.

Easy in the same way that it is easy to let go of the jaws of the 16' alligator who is looking at you hungrily. If they tighten the money supply, they might crash the economy and never get invited to the cool kid parties again.

Their only "winning" strategy is to try not to collapse the system before their term expires and it becomes someone else's problem.

I accuse both sides of taking turns doing it, :-).

I don't mean a permanent, game over collapse, but a few years of hyper inflation or having your retirement funds take an 80% hit can mess you up.

Despite months of claiming that this higher inflation was "transitory", the Fed has upped their inflation projections for next year.

And let me say it again... Even if the inflation is transitory, the higher prices are here to stay.
