President Joe Biden, his administration and the Fed have been constantly assuring America that the record-breaking inflation is under control. The Bank of America (BofA) doesn’t think so.
“The inflation genie is out of the bottle,” the bank wrote in a research note last week, emphasizing that it could be a long time before it “goes back inside the bottle” and everything comes back to normal.
BofA’s team of analysts headed by Athanasios Vamvakidis found that in cases of inflation above five percent in advanced economies from the 1980s to 2000s, it took 10 years on average to bring inflation back down to two percent. “The consensus still expects G10 inflation to drop to two percent by 2024, but we are concerned it could take longer,” the analysts wrote.
They further said that central banks around the world are actually “not in full control” of inflation, pointing out that policy tightening has its limits.
“Inflation in advanced economies today is much higher than five percent and has not even peaked yet in most cases,” they noted. “We should not necessarily expect that inflation will be back to the two percent target in only a couple of years.”
The analysts said it could take more policy tightening and they did not give an exact timeline for when they believed the country’s inflation could be truly manageable. The team, however, presented two possible scenarios: a positive “soft landing” for the economy if interest rates go down, or a negative “hard landing” if they continue to increase and the Fed is forced to continue to hike interest rates.
While their baseline is leaning toward the positive scenario, the analysts believe that the risks for the negative scenario could not be ignored. They await the rest of the year’s inflation data to help them predict which scenario would unfold.
As of August, inflation was down slightly by 0.2 percent from July’s reading of 8.5 percent, pushing the Fed to implement the third consecutive interest rate hike of 75 basis points last week.
“We do not necessarily expect that it will take a decade to bring inflation down to the two percent target in advanced economies,” the analysts stated in the note. “However, the historic evidence on inflation calls for caution.”
Inflation exhausts the average American family’s budget
In the meantime, American families would have to expend from their own pockets an extra $11,600 this year, according to new estimates by personal finance firm NerdWallet. (Related: Inflation under Biden, Democrats costing Americans more than $11,000 a year per household.)
The estimates were based on inflation and annual spending data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The company analysts said they studied how spending would compare this year to 2020 when the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began.
If Americans would want to follow the same standard of living they did in 2020, they would need to spend the said extra amount. According to the analysts, 2020 was the “last full year when inflation was relatively stable” at 1.23 percent.
“In all of 2020, American households spent $61,300, on average. This number includes everything we spend our money on housing, food, entertainment, clothing, transportation and everything else,” they wrote.
The analysts added that in 2022, it stands to reach $72,900 if consumers want to maintain the same standard of living.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
Of course, those BofA ass-clowns helped pull the cork out of that bottle in a big way.
