Paul Volcker's Federal Reserve pushed short-term interest rates into double digits at the turn of the 1980s. The effective funds rate reached about 19 percent in 1981. Inflation then was also far above anything in the published prints of the last few years. The episode is real. It is not a jacket a later chair can put on.
Later cycles started from different places. The target range went to 0 to 0.25 percent in December 2008. The hiking cycle that began in 2022 started near zero, not from the teens. Comparing a quarter-point move today with Volcker's weekend is a rhetorical move. It should be labeled as rhetoric.
