Because I think inflation is mostly being driven by scarcity d/t supply chain, production disruption d/t Covid, war, and labor scarcity; and increased labor costs. Making borrowing more costly could hinder increasing production.

Maybe my economic analysis is off - I am not an economist. But I don't see this inflation being caused by there being too much money in the economy.
