Covid had a bit to do with it, bit the Fed has gotten really good at doing their thing. I wouldn't bet either way. The one thing I would bet on is that 35 trillion in debt is not a long term positive, and will have to be reconciled. We either inflate it away or other, less desirable options occur. All the Fed printed money that's fed into Private Credit has salved a lot of ills in this Economy (pointedly, pay-as-you-go Consumer loans, etc etc) Bank lending is dead and needs rates to revert back if we're going to have a healthy, normal economy again

But blame it on the price gouging grocery stores where the margins are so thin they don't even sell real food at this point. Or builders who are charging more for housing because the material costs are higher. But let's cap it so nobody makes money and stops investing in these businesses and then the public is screwed. It's idiotic. You would have to be brain dead to agree with Kamala on this stuff 1
