Treasury Secretary Warns of ‘Rapid’ Inflation This Year

As more federal data show a major spike in inflation, another top federal official said the U.S. is in for more aggressive inflation for the rest of 2021. 

Federal officials have been pressed to speak on rising inflation after \data released earlier this week showed that the all items index increased 5.4% over the last 12 months, the biggest spike since the 2008 financial crisis. 

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen commented on the rise in inflation, saying it would grow worse this year.

  5. Umm, like pay people an extra $2,400 a month on top of unemployment so they sit on their ass and produce nothing, yet have more money to spend than before...That'll do it.

  7. I am not a finance graduate from some major university, but this is predictable, and has been seen time and time again. Who remembers the 21% interest rates of the 1980's ? That is the next thing to come, to try and bring the economy back into control.
    When you flood the economy with printed money, force businesses to pay 15$ an hour for entry level workers, and they still have a hard time getting workers, have 25 Democrat governors refuse to stop giving extra 300$ a week for not working, to encourage people to take those 15$ an hour jobs, you can expect inflation to soar. We are not done yet.
