Americans Have Too Much Cash

The idea behind the monetary pain we’re all feeling is pretty straightforward—when borrowing costs go up, people spend less, and inflation comes down.

But when you print trillions in new dollars, the equation gets distorted.

• If consumers and businesses have plenty of cash to fund expenses, higher borrowing costs won’t dent inflation as much
• U.S. households still have over $1 trillion in savings they can burn before dipping into credit, and local governments are flush as well
• Some Fed governors are expressing concern that rates may have to clear 5% to sufficiently tame inflation
• A tight labor market further dampens the effects of higher rates
