Things are kind of distorted from what would be fair. The near zero interest rates have lead to high property prices which has made owners rich and renters poor in a rather arbitrary manner.

It's like the governments are trying to control a lot of variables with only a couple of levers.

A lot of the Fed problems are related to the fact that it doesn't have direct control over the economy and the help (fiscal stimulus) that is most needed can only be done by the US government.
