    Government's job is to print money (for EVs, wars, etc). FED jobs is to make sure the resulting inflation is limited to a rate of 2% per year. Basically they want to boil the frog slowly to avoid mass panic. They're doing good job, $34,000,000,000,000 in debt and rising.
  • If April CPI comes in above 3.5% then July is off the table. We won't be seeing a rate cut until ATLEAST September if any.
