the extremely low interest rate helped with the rise of housing cost (one of the major inflation increases). Yes, supply/demand caused housing prices to go up. But, the lower interest rate meant that people could borrow more money for a house. Housing sale price has more to do with the monthly mortgage payment vs the actual cost of the house.

[@sustainabilitytheory5154]

That's true, but so is the inverse of that statement. When interest rates are low then the cost of borrowing money is cheap, which increases the number of potential home buyers. This increases demand for the currently low supply of houses. When there's low supply and high demand prices go up. I.e. low interest rates can cause more inflation in housing, even if it helps affordability in the short term.

Yes! Oil and gas companies would rather keep supply low so they can increase prices. They are making record profits. They have the capacity to increase production.

[@maryjones6115]

So what? Stop comparing us to other countries. They have always had highter gas prices. Always!!! In addition, if Joe had not turned off the pipelines we would not be seeing the high increaes we are now. It matters where the oil comes from. Jeez. Thirdly, the EU was dumb enough to depend on Russia for their energy/oil so yeah, they are in a pickle of their own making.

[@GunGlutton]

So if the US produced more with drilling and fracking it wouldn’t affect the price at all? More supply doesn’t matter?

[@joebidenisyourpresidentget2481]

@@maryjones6115 So what is realizing that America is not in a bubble. The price of gas goes up even if America uses 100% of its home made oil. We already make enough for ourselves.

The standard description people give for inflation is "too many dollars chasing too few goods" caused by printing too much money. Raising interest rates takes money out of the economy - that's the actual mechanism - the fed selling securities in the market which takes money out of the economy; they don't just do it by decree... Dave really showing his ass on this one.

[@justlivelovelaughfrugally]

He’s believes it was caused by gas prices? No! This is waaay bigger than that. It was caused by giving people they knew would spend money they didn’t have. They bought cars instead of paying rent. The supply chain was deeply affected. Now to somewhat put a stop to people taking loans and defaulting, they raised the interest rate. Smh.

Interest rates can only be raised by so much because of the overall debt. We will have some form of inflation the rest of this decade.

[@hudsonrowan2522]

If they actually measured US inflation like they did in 1980 the current rate would be around 17% which would be higher than the 13.5% in 1980 and the highest in over a hundred years, since 1918. It also means that REAL interest rates are negative by 16% or negative by 7.6% (1% nominal minus 8.6% CPI) using the modern method of calculating CPI.

One thing that he is missing on the price of gas. Oil companies didn't reinvest in refineries that closed in 19, and kept that as profits. They then said oh gov. is giving out free money so we can have an excuses for the raises. price of oil was this high in 2008 but price of gas wasn't anywhere near what it had been. look at profits Dave. Otherwise I agree with him.
