Give us you solution to inflation

she asked for an instant means to eliminate inflation. thats as quick as it gets. And yes, it causes some other problems.
Nixon issued a wage and price freeze which helped a little but there was so much pushback that he gave up on it. It's the feds job to prevent the situation that they themselves caused.
 
stop inflating the supply of money

wow - that was easy

Most of the money supply is not created by the government, and the bigger cause of inflation is velocity of money. The government has stopped quantitative easing, so they have stopped inflating the money supply... But the problem is not solved, so not as easy as you claim.

the Fed could have lessened inflation as they SAY was their top priority but they instead opted to pad the bull market to please Wall Street.
 
It is important to remember that deflation is far worse than inflation. Increasing the Fed interest rates to 8.6% would probably cause deflation.

raising rates to MATCH inflation makes inflation disappear right now. its not feasible but it was the solution that she asked for.

what will happen is gradual tightening (too gradual but thats a matter of debate) and rate rise. the pace will set the duration/degree of financial pain.

Define, "Hyperinflation". C'mon.. you started a thread on it.. you should know what it is, Hawkeye10.

Interest rates do need to climb somewhat. Bonds are worth nothing.. it's hard to raise the debt with people not willing to invest in US t-bills.
