So, what stops the snowball? Higher fed rates?

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.

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.
