These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation.

But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain, Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chair, via NBC.

According to Powell, people should not expect the Fed to reverse its monetary policy until the inflation problem is solved.

Some policymakers have even indicated that a recession would not be enough to reverse direction if inflation hasn't reached the Fed's 2% target.

The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy.

We must keep at it until the job is done.
