CPI climbed 0.4 in September

I'm not surprised. PPI was actually twice that (indicating ongoing CPI upward pressure).

This isn't a "demand" problem, it's a supply problem - and raising interest rates makes the supply problem worse, not better.

The idea that the Fed can "fix" the current inflation problem with interest rate hikes is going to, in the end, get the American economy wrecked.

No problem. Lefty can simply redefine inflation - just as he redefined recession - and…voila…all is well. The Democrats need only speak it and the compliant lap dog media will proselytize accordingly…and sycophantic buttboy PJ lefty, to a man, will ALL dutifully regurgitate all over the forum in precise fidelity to exacting verbiage signaled from HQ.

Progress!
Forward!

How does it get fixed?

You fix supply issues by increasing supply. Higher rates work against that.

Most, but not all, of our current inflation is energy driven, so Brandon needs to reverse his stance and actions that have restricted US based producers from running flat out. That solves probably a third of it. He can also reduce regulations in general to improve business investment to fix another third. The final third is related to the war, and I know you won't agree, but we need to get both sides to the negotiating table to solve that piece. The first two are easy, as he would have every Republican working across the aisle with him to achieve them. If we did that, the American people (other than me) would probably be okay with an indefinite war in Ukraine as tw-thirds of the problem would go away.

What’s a realistic number for immediate oil production increases if the government takes all realistic measures to encourage that? I only ask because that’s touted as a cure for inflation that’s attributable to oil production figures.

The nation thanks you for your helpful suggestions to reduce inflation.

The old GOP “reduce regulations” canard. No specifics, of course. Just vague pablum.

Almost any will do. Certainly Labor is a good place to start as it will increase wages too (win/win). But I get it - the left is definitely against higher wages for workers...

There is not an immediate number

It speaks volumes that the DNC hacks look to internet commenting boards for solutions rather than their beloved, worshipped politicians.

False, as you know. I look to politicians to implement suggestions. But they need suggestions to implement, and you never have any to offer. You are limited to your juvenile, repetitive drivel about other posters.

Seems like those politicians are too busy deploying midget stooge hack lackey toadie sycophant propagandists to the internet…rather than substantively, successfully addressing the myriad conflagrations wrecking America. On Joe Biden’s watch, we have profound explosion of crime rates, unprecedented border hemorrhaging to the tune of invasion by 1-2 million illegals per year, wrath-of-god inflation and explosion of pricing indexes, fuel/energy shortages and price hikes, logistics and supply chain failure…oh…and burgeoning world war.

And lisping lefty buttboy stooges are here asking “what tholuthions thould we theek?!?”

Yep. Such people are inferior and unworthy of response.

That was rhetorical. It’s obviously illogical to tout it as a solution without the info necessary to conclude that it is a solution.

So we don't have the means?

Wages and inflation move in tandem. There is no way to reduce inflation without reducing wage inflation as well.
