So here's the question, at what point does the increase in interest rate equal a decrease in inflation? I mean specifically what triggers that? I understand the broad strokes, that rates going up result in loans becoming more expensive which slows growth and slows demand. We are hoping for slowed demand but not too slow that jobs crash. Honestly though jobs have grown so fast for so long I don't see how they don't suffer some once inflation bottoms out.

P.S. - im both not surprised but very frustrated and angry at the GOP/Fox News response to the massive drop in gas prices.......freaking crickets

P.S.S. - From what ive seen, the gas price drop hasnt led to a drop in inflation, and many seem to not equate the few. One would think that a near doubling of gas prices over a a few months would be one main reason for larger inflation.
