Please explain how higher interest rates helps reduce inflation? No matter what, people still have to buy shit. So how does high interest rates get people to spend less? People still need to buy homes, cars, food regardless of what the interest rate is. Those are kind of necessities, so shouldn’t the government do more to make it more affordable?
And if businesses are paying more for a product, then they have to charge the customer more. They can’t charge less just because people aren’t buying. If they do they won’t make any money themselves.
I’m confused. Please explain it to me.

Printing money to flood the currency supply is what causes inflation. It’s not a victimless crime, they’ve stolen 40% of your dollars value in the last 3 years by debasing the dollar.
