(Reuters) - San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly said on Friday that recent 'eye-popping' inflation readings are driven by supply chain breakdowns and will subside as COVID does, and the Fed's decision not to raise rates in response is the right one.

"Just because we are standing pat, being patient, is not the same as being asleep," Daly said. Raising rates now would not solve the global supply-chain issues but could start to bridle growth next year just as inflation pressures are receding and cost the economy both output and jobs, she said.

They are corrupt and are liars with no credibility.
The whole point of the Feds actions is to stimulate demand, which they obviously overshot. They are now trying to pass the blame just like the politicians. Typical of central planners.
