If you're a Star Trek nerd, you might call it a Kobayashi Maru. If you're into chess, zugzwang. More plainly, they're fucked from both ends.

If they hold rates steady or raise them, you're right, they need economy strangling tax hikes to balance things. This causes a recession: emergency medicaid, unemployment, and stimulus spending paired with plunging tax receipts. That is, a large deficit with more bond issuance.

If they cut rates, your bond (hopefully) appreciates from a 4% valuation to a 2% one. While inflation knocks off 10% of the value every year. And even the dumbest of dumb bond traders realize they've given up on the 2% inflation target, which means treasuries are no longer risk-free, and they bail, dumping them on the market. That is, effectively, more bond issuance.

Did you notice the part where they have several times more dollars parked in 10 year computer? Them running out of dollars by November would be a *bull* catalyst.

The families that sock away $200 a week are the ones most likely to get crushed under this scenario, unfortunately. Well, them and TMF baggies/60-40 boomerfolios.

Reply that you don't care, because if they raise to 2% the entire bank will be liquidated.

Go to the /biz/ catalog, post a thread asking just "So what's the deal with Tether tomorrow?", then hope you get enough replies in the next 30 minutes.

But seriously, inflation train is leaving the station.

Bad if you own bonds, good if you own stocks...for now. Soon it'll force the Fed to hike rates, the Dems to implement austerity, or all of us to see inflation really get going.
