yeah, I 'm just trying to say that the tech companies are responding to stimulus in real time versus the Fed, which is responding to a lagging indicator with policy that take effect with a lag.

I guess tax cuts would be dis-inflationary eventually, insomuch as the private sector will invest and expand supply. Shorter term it sounds more like Erdogan's theory that lower rates=lower inflation
