      U.S. inflation accelerated in January despite efforts by the Federal Reserve to bring tame price hikes with higher interest rates.


      The consumer price index, which measures what consumers pay for goods and services, rose 0.5 percent in January compared with a month earlier. The index had increased by one-tenth of a point in December after rising two-tenths in November.

          Inflation is always transitory. Why would you believe otherwise? Is it because your information source of choice is telling you it isn't? That pretty much makes my case right there.
          Just like everything else regarding the economy, and in life, things have ups and downs. Sometimes the ups and downs last longer than we would like, but it does turn around eventually.

                    Please correct me if I'm wrong. But, isn't the debt ceiling for government spending and it's ability to borrow from a private bank? What does that have to do with commercial banks? I would think that with the economy booming that more people would be borrowing money from these banks for loans. Isn't that the way banks make money? Doesn't make sense if the economy is booming that banks are worried about defaulting.

                      Banks worry about getting paid back when the economy stumbles because people are more worried about putting food on their table than paying some of their bills. A typical eviction takes months to process, people will put off paying the mortgage hoping they can get caught up before losing the house. Revolving charge accounts will get ignored and possibly wiped out in a bankruptcy. Auto loans may be let go if they debtor can get another, cheaper vehicle. All these are NOT signs of a booming economy, but rather a failing one, and the banks will see the signs before most people.

                        David explained it quite well. I'm waiting to see if anyone will give a serious response. I'm skeptical that anyone from the other side is capable of actually debating. We'll see....

                          And don't forget, people start to believe something that is being shoved down their throats every day. What I mean is, if you are told every day by your information source that you aren't better off you start to believe it. Look at all the people who still believe the 2020 election was not legitimate just because they have been told that by their information source of choice.
                          Read more than the first line of BBM's post. In the second line, BBM mentions that only 16% percent say they are better off. And I wouldn't be surprised if checking the raw data would show that most of those are Democrats who are in the top 20% income bracket.

                                The only "defaults" that B of A is worried about is on credit card debt and mortgages, with mortgages being the elephant in the room. Mortgage rate are starting to rise while home values have peaked and are starting to fall. Sounds very similar to the lead to the financial crisis of 2008 when the huge mortgage bankers failed.
