WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. should be well past the pandemic economic crisis before the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, Atlanta Federal Reserve bank president Raphael Bostic said on Monday.

"We need to make sure we are well beyond the crisis before we start moving interest rates," said Bostic, who had earlier said he felt conditions for raising rates would be met late in 2022.

Real inflation is already at 13-15 % right now, their phony CPI is designed to show fake tiny values

Could he gives me an idea what're the Fed (or is there other govt inst) that can determine where is well beyond and the conditions postpandemic, or this is the new mantra other than inflation to keep flooding the system to maintain this millonaire ponzi scheme.
Another thief who should be jailed for the ponzi scheme.
