If our government was actually as "green" as they say they are, they'd aim for this because consumers would slow down consumption to only buy what they need. But they know that inflation is another form of tax, and they're too greedy to say that inflation is anything but "good".

People like the environment, but continued existence comes first, and that in turn required having a huge economy in order to make a huge military affordable, and that military is needed to maintain the continued existence of the government (as an institution rather than the specific jobs of specific people within it).
