Well this isn't Venezuela..not yet anyway.

The US has low inflation, high employment, and a strong consumer driven economy. Higher rates keep a lid on debt and underpin a strong national currency. What's not to like?

I'm not opposed on principle and think the Fed is pretty much on the right track given what they had to work with.

I will say one downside is a lot more tax dollars going to government debt service.
