You're right, I misspoke. The Federal Reserve, through its mandate to obtain full employment conditions, creates inflation as a side effect.

We've barely scratched full employment. Who knows how long we'll be able to maintain it. The Fed has no room to cut rates if a slowdown occurs without going negative and several economic indicators are pointing to a slowdown.
