Gary Cohn, Trump's former chief economic advisor, on CNBC now.

 

"The chief risk is slowing down (inflation) too fast now."

Yes.  The markets don't react well to actual deflation.  

 

It's why the sweet spot is inflation below wage growth.

It's amazing how many college educated people on the receiving end of this claim it's just being taken off the books and doesn't cost anything.

That is so incredibly stupid.

This commenter calling for major deflation.

Good old deflation. My money will be worth more next year than it is this year. I'm gonna just not buy anything except absolute essentials now. Demand tanks. People are laid off. Unemployment soars.

Stupid.

That's why the Fed targets 2 percent inflation, not deflation. Not now, not ever.

The fact is inflation for essentials are way over two percent.  

 

So when those get back to 2.  And peoples wages have cought up.  

Inflation will no longer be crippling for most Americans.
