Stimulus funds made a difference - inflation instead of

felt worse in a repeat of 2008.

The serious case for taking inflation seriously.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/11/15/inflation-its-past-time-team-transitory-stand-down/

Deficit Federal spending is not the main problem, and
enacting BBB will do more good than harm.  The Fed can
raise interest rates to curb speculative excess.

Major manufacturers don't look to politicians for help.

They're retreating from "just-in-time" back to
"just-in-case".  A well-stocked warehouse used to be
viewed as extra cost.  Now it's an essential firewall
against surprises.

There isn't any fast easy solution to inflation.
