War on us.
Powell says rents will come down . I disagree , just the tax assesments and ins increases alone prevent that. In many places the rents will still need to rise because it isnt all yet factored in. We dont even need to look at interest rates and maint costs.

The whole wages going up thing is laughable. Wages dont start to go up until after the third world inflation sets in. Employers hand out a raise so employees can keep commuting and eat lunch . It is reactionary not root cause .Median US income today 39,359.00 in the yr 2000 , 24 yrs ago 31,635.00. So during the last few years of blatant lying about the jobs numbers ( and monthly revisions down later) you must also expect the inflation numbers are not real. Median new US home today 421,417.00 , 24 years ago 161.760.00 , 160.25 percent increase , 6.67 percent per yr avg while gdp averaged 1.9 while wages went up .8 percent avg. national debt in yr 2000 5.6 trillion, today 34.2 trillion , over 500 percent increase, who thought they were going to grow the way out of that? A simple child would know better. Your currency is worthless and you live in the third world with a justice system to match. What just happened in the past 24 yrs can escalate fast but it wont improve. For 2 1/2 decades americans are 6 percent per yr avg worse off in home buying from new home price increase to wage increase comparison. Now that is the real inflation.

Just to point out how bad the money supply got that caused this I'll mention the M2 has actually decreased ( savings depleted) about 1.6 percent per yr for 2 and it hasnt done anything for inflation because it was jacked up so far by multiple increments. we will see what the future brings , until then for entertainment purposes go look at the grocery store and price a new truck,

Elizabeth Warren, like virtually all gov't officials, wants you to think the pain you're feeling at the store is caused by greedy businesses taking advantage of you, and has nothing to do with the Fed.
Unfortunately, her opponents are doing a lousy job answering her.
Her latest complaint is over "shrinkflation," whereby instead of raising prices, companies decrease the amount of product in the package (as when, for instance, a piece of chocolate becomes smaller).
Either via shrinkflation or via rising prices, businesses according to Warren are taking advantage of consumers.
This is juvenile.
Any business wants to set its price at the profit-maximizing level. A higher price is not necessarily the profit-maximizing price.
McDonald's, for instance, does not want to be charging $18 for a meal in some markets. This drives its natural constituency away, as survey data is revealing in abundance.
Some sectors of the economy can see their prices rise because of changes in taste, or sudden disruptions (caused by war, natural disaster, etc.), or other such factors.
But the only explanation (barring a sudden fall in money demand, which would itself require an explanation) for rising prices across the board is an increase in the amount of money in the system.
And this is why some of the MAGA people are also getting it wrong. Rising energy prices cannot cause price inflation across the board. Rising energy prices leave less money to spend on other things, so prices are a wash.
Only more money overall can raise prices everywhere.
The regime would like you to think that you are suffering because of every reason in the world EXCEPT the central bank it created and endowed with a monopoly.
It's evil companies, it's "greed," it's "cost-push," whatever. It's all bull$#@!.
Now when you take an anti-Fed position, you can expect to be told: the Fed's wise management of the economy has given us more stability, as well as fewer and shallower recessions. What, do you want to go back to the wildcat 19th century?
You should be prepared for arguments like that. Hence my free eBook Our Enemy, the Fed:
