RE:RE:Soft landing?BS? You must be another stupid Liberal. The main reason rates are up elsewhere are to protect currencies from falling in relation to the U.S. dollar. The U.S. is leading the way and even in the face of bankruptcies, defaults and banks failing, the boneheads will continue fueling the fire while pretending nothing is wrong. You can't fix inflation like this. Interest rate hikes add to inflation. It only makes it worse. Fix the supply chain and reduce taxes. The Biden administration wants higher rates for take in money in bonds for there wasteful spending and to help themselves and their buddies profit from fixed income assets and interest on cash accounts. They don't care what they do to the middle class. Watch what happens with all the foreclosures coming. Go have a drink to kill your pain.
