Stim checks are the reason there is inflation. Who would have thought giving everyone free money would cause prices to rise 🤔

Inflation is a multi-factorial problem. Constrained supply and high demand is probably a major contributing factory though.

Print money out of thin air, give everyone newly printed money, people spend newly printed money which inputs more money into circulation which decreases the value of the existing money and now things that once $1 are now $1.75.

Both parties are to blame and now the Fed needs to raise interest rates in order to curb the inflation or else it will keep spiraling.

Little of column A, little of column B. Sprinkle some column C on there too (astronomical Ukraine funds) oh and column D which is the broken supply chain.
