Of course it's not wage increases that's causing inflation. But once we're at a point where even wage increases lead to inflation, then we're in a really bad place.

Hopefully we can cool off before getting there. Plus the government can't really affect wages. I'm surprised nobody has suggested increasing tax rates as a way to cool the economy off, but that's political, so probably much more difficult.

Why is that bad? Given the asset inflation it is only anticipated wages catch up or assets crash.
