      But she is right and everyone in this comment section don't understand finance. Shelter is by far the biggest contributer to inflation. Higher rates mean households are paying MORE for housing (in interest). You need to lower rates to lower shelter inflation.

    Im so confused i get it , its basic economics reduce demand prices will drop. But alot of prices have even outpaced inflation she mentioned cars. Look at how high car MSRPs have jumped on many cars in the past 4 years. Alot of this is corporate greed, they saw peoole paying high markups and now theyve incorporated price increases because people will pay it. Its 2 main things going on corporate greed and desperate consumers that are bad at finances and whether it hurts them or not will continue to buy what they can't afford neither of those will go away and that's why prices will not go down. The rate at which they continue to rise will slow but high prices are here to stay.

    She works at Groundwork Collaborative, which is "an American 501 non-profit think tank and progressive advocacy group... works to 'change economic policy and narratives to build public power, curb private power, and create an economy that works for all of us.'" - AKA socialism. All you need to know.
    I will agree though that removing the tax cuts will also curb demand, like how high interest rates also curb demand. However, I'm confused how removal of tax cuts will reduce the incentive for corporate profiteering? And I also will concede that part of inflation is a result of de-globalization that has impacts on certain parts of supply. Interest rates will not solve inflation, but NOT doing anything either would make it worse. Is she asking for rates to drop simply because it isn't the right tool to tackle inflation? Shelter will then increase in price even more which contradicts her goal of helping affordability. Inflation will be higher which also hurts the low income more than others.

    Part of the reason housing rates are so high is because taxes are too low on rich people who are buying all the housing to turn them into rentals. We need to decentivize home ownership by non-occupants. If you are trying to buy a home, you are competing against corporations and wealthy individuals who are paying low taxes who want to keep you from buying that home, because they want you to rent it from them.

    • @HomeSouthBuilders

      Correct and then they take TAX FREE loans against their real estate portfolios and do refi’s against those same portfolios at the higher appraisal rates. They even admit off the record they are taking advantage of the loop hole and should pay more taxes.
      As for Greedflation, yes it is real lol… Look at how hight McDonalds raised prices lol.. Now they have to come out with a $5 menu. Locally “Jacks” which across the street from my local only raised a little bit to cover costs while McDonalds took the 1/4 pounder meal from $5 to $9 Jacks took their similar from $5 to like $6.50. So did only McDonald’s price increase and Jack’s did not? No, McDonalds tried to profit off increased costs vs Jack’s trying to cover costs but not necessarily profit off the costs, at least not to the same degree.
      Banks SHOULD lend to the home builders at a LOWER rate so supply can increase and we need lower mortgage rates to get current home owners to start selling. Finally need to limit how many homes you can own as a rental. This also has an impact on supply.

    You guys cut out the best parts. Kitty is not totally wrong though everyone teamed up against her. Companies are not just passing on increased costs, but profiteering off increases costs. Impossible for all these companies to still have “record profits” as their costs increase if this wasn’t the case.
    Also she is correct that the high rates are LIMITING the supply of housing and also adding to the cost to buy housing. There should at least be a carve for home builders and buyers so supply can be increased and prices can fall.
