Ask me in a couple days.
I see a couple guys understand what inflation really is and it's cause

I'm curious as to what interest rates will follow? Those could really hurt.

The expectation by the professionals is 7.3 percent. For the majority of the last year the pros have underestimated. There is an old Chinese curse that said "may you live in interesting times. We are living it

I lived through inflation before, but the banks paid inflation adjusted interest on my savings. This time, not so far.

Heard recently the feds are raising interest rates to help stop or slow the inflation.
About time the interest rates go up. The current rates are ridiculous. I know my 89 year old Mom has been feeling it for years. Used to be you could get 4-5% on savings now its practically 0. Very hard on retired peoples savings. The practice of zero interest rates fuels the economy with borrowed money, the borrowed money is created out of thin air causing inflation as a side effect. That on top of gov't printing money makes for a double whammy.
