We should follow George Washington advise: “I’ve given you, the citizens of the U.S.A, all you need to have a good life; the U.S. constitution with it’s bill of rights. The rest is up to you”.
I’ve always been interested in how memory works: how it develops, what is or is not recalled, etc. Demographically, I suspect the GoComics audience skews older, yet so few recognize or remember the inflation of the late 70s, early 80s. Stating that this current round is catastrophic, shows an appalling lack of memory or a willful disingenuousness.
Inflation can be stubborn. As with any economic condition, there are those who benefit more and those who suffer more. For example if you borrowed $$$ prior to the last upsurge, you are now paying back your loans with dollars of less value. You’re a winner!!! Same with those looking to invest in longer term CDs: you too are a winner!!! People on fixed incomes, they’re the ones who are struggling the most.
The Fed is the means by which this country fights it. It’s a worldwide problem, mostly caused by the consequences of the pandemic. The US is doing better than most. The US avoided the predicted recession of 2023, mostly because of increased government spending. So, for the critics, would you have preferred a recession or the current low-grade inflation?

Corporate greed is the cause of the majority of what we are currently facing check the profits follow the money .
Regardless compared to most country’s we are doing much better.

This toon has zero correlation to reality. If you aren’t better off today than 4 years ago it’s on you.
