Higher interest rates are very inflationary to the point where they cannot be passed on and then become deflationary.

In theory higher costs of borrowing reduces demand for borrowing, but it didn't stop the borrowing frenzy in '99-'00 with rates at 9.5% did it?

the fed will wait until they're clearly behind the curve with regard to 'undesirable' inflation (as opposed to it's current policy for the 'desirable' variety) before they raise rates....change in language suggests that they KNOW 'undesirable' inflation is in the pipeline and can't be avoided for long. Perhaps also the dollar requires propping prior to shrub's incursion into Paki-land.
