Preparing for a Post-Pandemic ‘Supercharged’ Economy

With vaccines become more readily available and hospitalization rates drop, the pandemic seems to be losing steam. As we round this corner, we may be looking at a supercharged economy due to federal stimulus spending finally making its way to households in need of assistance, households with excess personal savings and lots of pent-up demand from the pandemic who are ready to spend, and business-to-business spending being on the rise as well. This is a good thing – right? Some economists worry that all of these factors will end up pushing prices to historic levels, devaluing the dollar, and destabilizing the U.S. economy.
