The Fed can't cut

[Avid_Consumer]

there were plenty of chances along the way to regulate and keep the lending reasonable. this has been an all out fiat frenzy

is it possible for the fed to raise all they want, while the gov't keep printing endless supply of greens?

 

[Bongo972]

The government borrows and the fed prints (bonds actually).

The problem being if they raise rates the government (us) pays more in interest or they just borrow more to pay the interest so the deficit gets mega big.

This is what happens when you borrow endlessly. So you let inflation run rampant to keep borrowing costs low.

Pretty sweet eh?

Are you kidding me? There's no inflation.
