In order to fix it, they have to remove dollars from the system to right-size inflation. However, if they do that, the debt grows as a share of GDP because you can only right-size the debt by stopping it and paying it down.

We are doing so well, we don’t have to worry about the cost of illegals or of forgiving student loans, and we can freely help Ukraine with many hundreds of billions of dollars for something that could have been handled with a peace treaty.

Everything is fine!

Lowest unemployment in history across all demographic groups.

But now the priority is to get full employment for illegal aliens.

The Rats won’t cut Social Security benefits, but they have no problem creating high inflation, or fudging the numbers to limit Social Security COLA’s.

Four years ago we weren’t buying oil from our enemies. We were producing our own. Funny how that works, isn’t it.

American Taxpayers Are Now Slaves to Interest Payments - 11/28/2023 Heritage Foundation EXCERPT:

Interest on the federal debt is now so immense that it's consuming 40% of all personal income taxes. The largest source of revenue for the federal government is increasingly being devoted to just servicing the debt, not even paying it down.

The problem is getting worse daily . . .

US national debt tracker for April 12, 2024: See what American taxpayers (you) owe in real time

Thanks to a combination of high inflation, rising interest rates and unrelenting growth in the national debt, interest payments are expected to triple from nearly $475 billion in fiscal year 2022 to a stunning $1.4 trillion in 2032.

Given that the left refuses to cut spending on wasteful communist-socialist pogroms and too many politicians overall refuse to cut spending on pork . . .

Some time within the time-span of mid 2027 on up to mid 2029, all of personal income taxes will be paying all of the interest on the national debt. None of personal income taxes, will be paying down the national debt.

With that in mind, along with the bottlenecks, chokepoints, and roadblocks created by government bureaucratic regulations, weighing heavily on what American producers can/might do . . .

Plus the theft by the left, as the left steals what it can by way of thoughtless Biden (and successor) socialist-group-think edicts . . .

Dodging recently-re-released criminals between workplace and home . . .

The corollary to simply removing dollars, is lowering the cost of production, so there are more goods for those dollars to chase. That’s what Volker did.

Short term deflation, unfortunately, but that’s the only way I am aware of to tackle inflation is to remove dollars to make them more valuable.
