I think the major impact of the fed economically is counterproductive. there is a housing shortfall and people need somewhere to live unless they become homeless and live in their cars or rvs. the impact of raising rates is to increase housing costs not decrease them as less new housing will be built so that will increase inflation.
It may also increase costs of producing food as the farmers usually have to borrow short term while they wait for their crops to grow and harvest and sell them. This is just a poor strategy. .On some level not having free money though is good as it will make better use of resources. But I doubt that housing and rents turn down materially except perhaps in silicon valley. I continue to see deflation is in clothing but I doubt that contributes much to inflation. i suspect that the last store I visited a Ross store will close as they had very little inventory, and I would have thought they would have a lot more considering all we have been hearing about bloated inventories. I was quite amazed that i was able to purchase a well constructed pair of shorts that had a zippered pocket inside a main pocket for about $9.
