What the average American doesn’t understand is that
-
The government only has control over inflation when it comes to prices
-
Controlling inflation only controls the RATE of rising prices
Once prices are up, they don’t go down because prices always go up over time in a healthy economy.
I’m not disagreeing with your suggestion, but in that situation what would actually happen over the short term is prices would stay the same for much longer. Which is healthy for an economy.
Over a longer term people will make more money and $10 eggs won’t feel as expensive.
It’s not as exciting of a proposition, which is why most people don’t bother explaining it.
