Its very simple. Raise interest rates and shrink the money supply. As long as everyone is willing to accept a 30 to 50 percent drop in the value of their 401K and IRA accounts. And maybe an uptick in the unemployment rate of a percent or two or three. I'm guessing everyone is not okay with those consequences of solving the inflation problem. Do you have a better idea?

Sure, drop these stupid tariffs for one, which are artificially raising prices. That's pretty simple. Lower taxes are just a good thing and help lower consumer goods prices. Also, stop the war on the workers. Fewer workers means employers have to raise pay to attract the people that are work shy, so the costs get passed on in the form of higher prices. We need more immigrants, not less. MAGA is an inflation inducing movements with its anti-business policies.

MAGA is an inflation inducing movements with its anti-business policies. The consistently low workforce participation rate invalidates your claim we need more immigrants. Add in the high utilization rate for social assistance by recent immigrants, mostly illegal, and the case crumbles. Most of the new arrivals are not here to work. Let's take H1B tech worker visas for example. Tech companies claim they need to import technical workers because of a lack of domestic labor to fill positions. Disregarding the fact that unemployment among newly graduated computer science majors is very high. Higher than liberal arts majors I've seen reported. So much for the learn to code mantra. What those tech firms using visa programs do is keep wages low. And unemployment high among domestic workers. I've lived through and witnessed the decline of America's tech work force. Now most of the jobs are outsourced to sites in India along with companies importing foreign workers that displace domestic workers. Maybe 1/5 of the jobs are held by native born citizens. Companies are enjoying lower labor costs while peddling the myth that the domestic workforce doesn't exist to fill these jobs. it does. While the administration is focusing on bringing back manufacturing, which I expect will never happen, they're completely ignoring the tech work force where on-shoring would be much easier to accomplish.

Are YOU expecting "elections to be canceled?" Why is that a thing with you? 1
