          LOL. That was ours as well, in 1980.

            No, first step is fixing the supply chain. More goods moving will help tremendously. Then we address spending.

            Though, a rate hike wouldn’t hurt.

                    Best investment strategy for cash during a period of inflation? Certainly if the rates go up then savings accounts (and CDs, bonds, etc) all would be more attractive than the current 0.05% rates out there.

                      Yeah, but what you get, still won't keep up with inflation.

                            I think that the US should get rid of the one dollar bill. I know that they have tried to promote the USD$1 coin, but unless you give more of an incentive, it will not work.
