Our last major bout with inflation was in the early to mid 1970's. To wring it out of the economy the Federal Reserve had to raise interest rates. I recall banks charging their best business customers 21%.
Simply put, inflation is too much money chasing too few goods and the classic method and only proven method of eliminating or at least bringing it back to a workable level is to reduce the money supply. That means an across the board increase in interest rates.
What does 21% interest rates for a banks best business customers transalate to for you on home mortgages, car loans and credit cards.
