Explanation:
The article is, ''<em>Social Security checks to rise modestly amid push to expand benefits
'' </em>by<em> Associated Press. </em>
Blahous is a former program trustee who believes that the current inflation adjustment rate at which Social security is increasing is overcompensating seniors because it does not take into account that seniors could be switching to buying cheaper products which is the Substitution effect.
Advocates and the seniors themselves have complained that the 2020 COLA is not enough to meet their current needs especially given the rising cost of healthcare.
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders both proposed using a new measure for inflation that will adequately compensate the seniors because it outpaces the current one used.
As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.
