Totally agree and another reason the Fed won't be going crazy on raising rates!

If you haven't noticed, Federal debt has been doubling every 8 years at least since 2001. I attribute this not just to largess but also due to a need to throw new debt into the system at an increasing rate. This is due to the ever declining productivity of new debt as far as GDP and private debt can't shoulder the necessary increases. All this means $40T Federal debt in 2025, $80T in 2033, and $160T in 2041. Lest you think I overestimated I found I was spot on as far as the goverment's own report I saw.

 

All this means is $10T added debt in the next 3 years, and $40T added in the following 8. So what do you think this will do for inflation? You haven't seen anything yet.

 

Which reminds me of a variant of a grave I came up with

Not so fast. Inflation will be here for a long time.

The Fed is stuck in theatre performance stalling for time - they have to pretend like most inflation is not coming from them printing trillions, and rates can go up without disaster, in other words that they have viable options. When their lack of ability to fix things is publicly acknowledged who knows what will hit the fan?

Bottom line is inflation is more people chasing less goods. The USAs population has flattened and might turn down this year. I would expect the 10 year to be around 1 percent sometime this decade.

The question here is whether the current inflation is CYCLICAL or STRUCTURAL.  

 

If it is cyclical, it might top out some time this year as demand weakens in response to higher prices. Some people even think that inflation has already topped out.  Inflation resulting from re-opening demand and supply chain bottlenecks would be cyclical. 

 

If it is structural, it might last several decades.  Inflation resulting from the dynamics of continuously increasing developed world sovereign debt creation would be structural. 

 

I have a hard time figuring out whether inflation due to the lack of energy supplies is cyclical or structural or perhaps even deflationary.  Energy demand is inelastic, so it should be structural but we have seen oil prices come down and even go negative when demand craters, so that would imply cyclical inflation due to Russia/Ukraine, lack of investment in energy, etc.

Exactly, rates are not going through the roof for sure!!
