I would be more inclined to seriously consider the premise if the US weren't in the middle of the worst inflation bout in decades, and that wouldn't be critically inconvenient to certain politicians, facing an election quite soon, and I hadn't read many articles in the press affiliated with those politicians claiming that first the inflation doesn't exist and next that the inflation is actually very good. Given all that, I am having a hard time now taking any arguments towards it seriously. Also, > For decades, governments have done all they can to keep inflation down Did they really? I mean, like the inflation is something that pops out of nowhere by a quirk of cruel nature, having nothing to do with government actions - or it's an entirely predictable - and repeatedly predicted - result of such actions? If the latter, can we seriously clam they done all they can to avoid it, if they actually done all they can to cause it?
