Lucas and Luna explore how this massive fiscal expansion is forcing the central bank’s hand on interest rates, even as inflation data remains stubbornly sticky. We break down the mechanics of why higher Treasury yields are becoming a political liability rather than just a monetary tool, and what the recent wholesale price jumps mean for the next FOMC decision.
