“Even on big-ticket items like cars and computers, it’s nearly impossible to predict how prices will be affected,” said Howard Dvorkin, CPA and chairman of Debt.com. “In our global economy, almost everything with moving parts has components sourced from multiple countries. Cars and computers aren’t like cookies and crackers — they don’t come with a list of ingredients. Good luck trying to figure out how those overseas components will raise the overall price of that laptop you want.”

“The IRA isn’t open-heart surgery for inflation,” said Howard Dvorkin, CPA, founder and chairman of Debt.com. “It’s not that dramatic. Think of it like taking a daily baby aspirin to prevent a heart attack. Many IRA provisions won’t show up in your wallet after one year, but they probably stopped your finances from getting worse.”

But here’s the thing, it’s entirely possible that we’re already in a recession, and just don’t know it yet, according to Howard Dvorkin, CPA and Chairman of Debt.com. Economists define a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative growth – which means production drops and unemployment rises. There’s a problem baked into that definition: You can’t know for sure if you’re in a recession for almost six months,” says Dvorkin. “We can read the tea leaves and make educated guesses, but we can’t confirm those until two quarters are nearly over. By then, of course, it’s too late to prepare.”

Howard Dvorkin, CPA and Debt.com chairman, told GOBankingRates that you can like him or hate him, but calling Jerome Powell a dangerous man “is unsettling.” “As a CPA, I worry about such base-focused rhetoric because it distracts from our country’s real financial problems and the dispassionate math that can solve them,” Dvorkin says. “I don’t agree with everything the Fed has done over the past three decades that I’ve been a business owner and a financial counselor. But I never thought anyone in the Fed was ‘dangerous.’ Shortsighted? Sure. Bumbling? Sometimes. But dangerous? Never.”
