There’s was a whole lot of complaints and no solutions outs of cutting entitlements like SS, Medicare and WIC and they’re going to do this as soon as the debt ceiling is up for renewal. Either there will be major cuts to this program or they’re going to force us to default on our debt for the first time in our history and try to blame it on Democrats because they know their voters are poorly informed.

The same as the democrat plan: keep the fed pumping fake money into the economy and greatly grow the federal budget year over year.

Fed's raising interest rates specifically to increase unemployment. Got any other theories?

Well not just the interest rate increases. Look at all of the money they just magically add into the economy via buying treasuries. Trillions during the 2 year covid era, even more than that before during the 08 financial crisis.

It's not really a D vs R political problem because neither party really has any position to change it.

While the Fed is raising interest rates because the unemployment rate is too low?
