Your suggestion is right on the mark if the Fed wanted to raise interest rates. I don't think they do. I think they just want to look like they're raising rates.

Instead of raising the fed funds rate the fed should raise the bank reserve rates back to the 1990 levels - 12% for overnight and 3% for time deposits. The rates are currently 10 and 0 (which is actually higher than they are in "sound money" Europe.)
