I would just like to see wage growth meet the inflation rate. The difference as it stands lowers the value of our income. Increasing wages could help but I am not that naive to believe that will be considered.

In a perfect world, wage growth would match the inflation rate. The next best thing is to get it as close as possible so everyone's best interests are considered.

Sad to see that so much in our economy is influenced by the fed and government spending, of which both seem to warp economic reality.

I agree the fed plays an outsized role at the macroeconomic scale. The fed believes it can bring inflation down by increasing rates, but this is something that also has to run its course. Thanks for reading, Bert!
