The Fed kept the Federal Funds Rate near zero for over a decade after the 2008 financial collapse and massive bank bailouts. The Fed knew this would cause severe havoc in our economy, it's their job. Now the Fed is escalating the Federal Funds Rate that is again causing severe havoc in our economy and probably one of the reasons for the recent bank failures, which will probably continue. Inflation was caused by the printing of trillions of dollars out of thin air in just the past two years.
If the Feds job is to regulate and protect our economy they failed and they have done the opposite. They are the experts on regulating economies. One can only conclude this was intentional.
