Well, please except Kasriel. <nobody is worried about inflation...not one economist, mainstream or otherwise, expects it. >

It would seem it is no different than the 1930's then, where interest rate hikes were used to stem gold outflows. This time, instead of gold, we use floating exchange rate dollars and inflation. This is the thesis I have thought all along. History is bound to repeat itself.

The Indication That Lower Productivity Will Cause The Fed To Lower Rates Is either made by someone with no knowledge of economics or no scruples. Whatever happens, the claim is made that it will cause the Fed to lower rates. I'm sure when the data about inflation becomes irrefutable, although the Q1 5.2% increase of labor costs over the Q4 increase of 4.5% seems kind of obvious, I'm sure they will indicate that it is good because it will cause the Fed to ease. .
