Powell is an incompetent ***. He is now blaming others for his own incompetence. Covid is his latest scapegoat. Does he blame his incessant printing of trillions of dollars? No. Does he blame Senile Joe for pumping trillions into the economy? No. again. Does he blame all who claimed inflation was "Transitory"? No. Does he blame himself for his tepid and late interest rates hikes? No. Does he blame Putin? Of course. Powell needs to raise rates above the core inflation rate. YES. Will he do it. No. Powell is no Volker.
