Senate raises debt ceiling 2 1/2 trillion to finish out this yr.

Here is the deal . The fed is going to spend the next 27 or so months raising the interest rate to 2 percent or so . Meanwhile the stock markets are most likely to take a dive . While all thats going on there is still going to be inflation , next year a lot of it based on wholesale and mnfg costs now. Wages will be inflated but they are not going to keep up .Poorer people are becoming poorer by the day. Workforce participation and GDP are dismal . Be a good time for people to start doing something for representation that is willing to remove govt from business.

On the ground in Turkey , real inflation about 50 percent . Maybe that will make your 11 or 15 percent easier.

Yup, we're in a tightening cycle, although right now it's just barely less loose. I suspect that my inflation based investments are going to go down until the next loosening cycle. The good news is I don't think this tightening cycle is going to last very long, maybe less than a year. I'm guessing they finish the taper and get in a few .25 rates hikes and then some sort of debt based disaster will occur and they have to drop rates back to zero and launch the biggest QE yet.
The tightening cycles keep getting shorter and weaker, while the loosening cycles are getting longer and stronger. So I'm just going to relax and be patient and wait for this tightening cycle to end.
Without the two trillion social spending bill in the senate being added to debt Goldman Sachs revises down estimated GDP growth for first three quarters of 2022 to an avg of 2.5 . Seems a little optimistic to me , I think anything over 2 is.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Reason is right on cue, too:
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat

January is set to be higher than December's 7%. Can't imagine it is any less than that. All other indicators are still rising as we enter the second half of the month.
But yea, this is fine.
Welcome to the R3VOLUTION!
Actually it has three percent to go up just to catch up with production costs.

Prices are jumping every time I go grocery shopping. Most notable increase that I follow is the crab meat price. A can of claw meat was $12.99 a year ago. Same can is now $27.99.

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
I still firmly believe that the most accurate long term driver of inflation is the fed's balance sheet. If it wasn't it would mean we could all just stay home and let the Fed send us checks.
The balance sheet is 9 times larger than it was in 2008 so ultimately prices should follow. In other words the price rises we've seen over the past year are just the tip of the iceberg.
My guess is commodity prices will fall a little while the Fed is in this "tightening cycle" and then go ballistic later this year when all hell breaks loose and they launch an even bigger round of QE and set rates back to zero. I don't really watch the CPI, it's too rigged. I look at commodity prices like gold, oil, wheat, copper, etc. I think they'll all be making record highs later this year.

I'm throwing a flag on "What Austrian economists think it is" -- move that under the burglar, and the meme will be salvaged (mostly). Austrians are crystal-clear that inflation is theft through counterfeiting.
