J Powell doesn't understand that you cannot save yourself rich? That is, he can do everything in the Feds power to shut down the economy, but he can't significantly control demand. We need to grow supply to meet demand - this is the only way out of the stagflation he will create and maintain until he's removed. Charles on 4/20/2023 2:02:13 PM |
