If most central banks' target inflation to be at ~2% why prices don't go up? Actual brainlet here.

Your answer is this: price rises are limited to certain parts of the economy: housing, education and healthcare being three. Prices of food etc are being held down

How are they being held down? As far as I know every attempt at government price control had been a failure.

The do go up you moron, look at the price of food over time

because the money being printed is not going to you and me, it's going to banks who buy properties at ever higher prices, or companies at ever higher prices, or art at ever higher prices. We see none of it

Look up the petrodollar. The dollar is the reserve currency, you have to trade goods for USD in order to buy oil. This creates an infinite demand for USD...at least for now

I know about that but I'm European and central banks here have the same inflation target as the US but they do not have as much leverage as FED does.

Not as much as 2% per year. I do not see restaurants owners checking inflation levels and adjusting their prices accordingly.

The cash injections aren't being allocated to consumer goods, they're going to Ponzi markets like stocks, bonds, and real estate and soon, BTC and gold/silver. If there is no additional buying power added to consumer goods markets then prices won't go up. To understand this at a lower level go read about how order books are related to price action.

Most people don't have money to spend on things they do not need. Once the helicopters of money start coming in, hyperinflation.

The only feasible scenario to avoid this is to grow the economy and slash government at the same time.

Prices of everything have been going up. The only commodities pegged to $1 in NYC are Arizona cans and dollar slices of pizza.
