2. Decrease spending by consumers in a rate-rising and production-reducing environment, so production will be even less (why produce when no one is buying and also cost more to produce)
Since supply is the biggest driver with the current inflation crisis, less supply means inflation will stay and increasing rates will mean less spending. Basically taking out supply AND demand  |
Stop spending money you don’t have. Simple solution.
Oh, and I thought the $1.5 TRILLION “inflation reduction act” was going to take care of all this?
