Inflation isn't such a bad thing, if there's wage inflation to go along with it. My concern is that many companies have gotten away with no real raises for so long that I think a lot of people are used to it now.
Personally I think they're going to raise, and then watch. They've been artificially low so long I think it's ultimately hurt everything more than helped. Stock market at basically all time highs at more or less reasonable valuations and interest rates still at 0%? What if there's another crisis, they don't have any tools left to deploy really, we could really be in trouble then.
