Inflation has a devasting effect - especially on middle-class America. I say raise interest rates and deal with inflation first even if it means we slip into a short-term recession. The problem is we have these governemnt beauracrats who try and prevent natural business cycles from happening just to keep the "good times" going, and it ends up just making matters worse than if they would've just left the market take its natural course.

Had they stayed put at 2.25, we would have bottomed out some time ago - as a side note, I don't think that oil would have gone to the levels that it did. If the Fed talks about inflation and how that is becoming a larger concern, that should help the dollar in the short term. I wouldn't try to predict a bottom here or whenever, but once the Fed starts raising rates, we'll be past the bottom.
