    I know I"ll get downvoted for saying this, but you’re right.

    Stopping inflation without getting the prices to lower or the wages to raise is like…

    Say you get stabbed by a psycho-killer, I shoot the killer in the fucking head and haul away his corpse.

    Then I say “I have solved your stabbing issue” and call it a day.

    This doesn’t change anything about the fact that at no point did I take you to the hospital to address the fact that you are bleeding out, and now you’re crawling around on the floor praying you can get to a phone to call 911 in time for the Ambulance to save your life.

    Sure the killer’s gone, but I’ve done absolutely nothing about the fact that you’ve been stabbed and if you die I would then in fact be guilty of negligent homicide.
