There's been plenty of inflation since 2008, that's retarded.
The only reason the Fed can't reach their "inflation targets" is because over the years the measurements of inflation have gotten so screwed up in order to hide the consumer price inflation there already is, that it's functionally impossible to meet.
It's the same as me saying "I want to be able to deadlift two plates. I'm going to keep taking steroids until I can do that." then me welding the plate weights to a metal platform and when I can't lift them because they're welded to the platform I'm standing on saying "oh no I can't deadlift two plates, better take more steroids".
And this is not just my thoughts, this is provable. If you look at inflation measures from before the Boskins commission (that's the blue line, it's what we used before we intentionally started fudging the CPI numbers), you can see that we've been hitting about 6% yearly, including since 2008.
There's plenty of inflation, you're just in denial and seem to think that stringing together insults is the same as providing arguments or data.
