“Don’t worry, folks, this inflationary fog will clear right up… eventually.”
This cartoon satirizes the Federal Reserve’s long-held stance that inflation was merely ‘transitory’ while simultaneously engaging in significant quantitative easing. The ‘TRANSITORY’ smoke visually represents the Fed’s narrative obscuring the reality for ordinary families experiencing rising costs. It highlights the disconnect between economic policy pronouncements and their real-world impact.
Also: ““It’s just a temporary atmospheric condition caused by our, ah, ‘expansionary’ policies.””
