for the last 10 years, the US and Europe have not been able to meet their inflationary goal of +2%.
For the Fed and ECB, this is a major priority, to get at least 2% inflation, they haven't been able to achieve this any year since the financial crisis.
I don't know why they are unable to meet their goal, despite them emphasizing again and again the importance of a 2% inflation.
..and desu, it makes even less sense in the context of QE and historic low interest rates.

I think there are stronger powers at play, perhaps in 10 years when we watch the "big short 2" movie the pieces will all come together.. but until then i suspect this unknown pattern of low inflation where it shouldn't will continue, and we will perhaps even get deflation.

It is noticeable.
Look at the number of people taking debt to pay rent or groceries.
Look at the number of auto loan defaults, or home loan defaults.
They're all going up in spite of the Fed meeting it's targets every year, and wages supposedly going up. Because the wages are only going up in nominal terms, in actual purchasing power terms Americans have been losing money for decades now.
We've managed to stave off most of the consequences by providing cheap debt, but based on the default rates it seems like we're getting close to the end of that as well.
The Fed can go to zero or negative and buy a few more years, but where are they going to cut after that when we're back to the same mass-default position a few years later? Even more negative?

And by the way this isn't the only set of numbers that shows this.

https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/economy/rising-cost-of-living-in-america/

>The cost of living in America has climbed 14 percent over the past three years, according to a GOBankingRates’ analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index.
>The index measures the change in prices paid for goods and services, including food, shelter, energy, transportation and medical care.
>We also looked at housing cost data supplied by Zillow. The median home price has soared 21 percent from $215,000 in January 2015 to $260,000 in January 2018. And the median rent has climbed 7.6 percent over the same period from $1,340 to $1,442.
>GOBankingRates used the 50-30-20 budgeting rule to determine the income needed in the 50 largest cities to allocate 50 percent toward necessities, 30 percent toward nonessential costs and 20 percent toward savings. In all cities but one, the income needed to live comfortably is higher than the median household income. Across all 50 cities, that gap has increased 20 percent over the past year — even more so in these 10 cities:

Only reason this hasn't popped is we still have some room for rate cuts before 0.

The CPI which literally tracks the price of cars, food, and products, says they're more expensive.
If you have evidence to the contrary, post it.

As >>17493948 points out Oren Cass posted;

>Popular perception is correct. In 1985, the typical male worker could cover a family of four's major expenditures (housing, health care, transportation, education) on 30 weeks of salary. By 2018 it took 53 weeks. Which is a problem, there being 52 weeks in a year.

How exactly is it that things are getting cheaper as you say, and yet the metric that tracks the price of these things says they're getting higher? AND the metric that tracks what workers can afford says less people can afford it? And in fact on your specific point about cars;

>if you're a family that needs to buy a minivan, while it's nice that the 2018 Grand Caravan ($26,300 in 2018) has many features the 1996 Grand Caravan ($17,900 in 1996) did not, you still face the problem that you need an extra $8,500 to buy one.

What about healthcare?

>The median family must now pay more for health insurance and will not use the cure. Last 20 yrs, the typical family's health care consumption has gone up $2K, but their premium has gone up $13K. No wonder they feel worse off.

Your argument is "I know shit hasn't gotten much more expensive, if at all in some areas." POST YOUR EVIDENCE. Post a single fact to back up your point beyond just what you "know". If it's so undeniably true, give me a single solitary shred of third party sources that back it up.

First of all it sounds like you don't know what 'anecdote' means. That was data you were provided, an 'anecdote' is like what you said 'It's not true because I know from personal experience it's not true'.
Consumer prices on average have risen somewhere between 5-10% per year. Some prices rise slower than others. The CPI tracks expenses across auto, home, medicine, food, insurance, etc. and that averages out to the CPI. Some expenses, like auto, will rise slower than other expenses, like home or insurance. I absolutely know what compounding means, it seems like you don't know what 'average' or 'anecdote' do though.
Again, you're making the claim that the CPI is false. The single most widely accepted metric tracking consumer expenses in the entire economic world. Based on your own personal observations. Okay. Then I'll ask one more time; Do you have any data to back that up? Not data on a single product, or category, but on the entire CPI which you claim is bullshit.

In actual fact, hourly compensation has increased 9% from the 70's while $1 in 1970 is equal to around $6-7 today. That's a 600% decrease in purchasing power. Inflation and erosion of what things can buy are what that Anon is getting at, not the actual fact of things costing more.

Holy fuck you are all retards. Consumer prices only inflate when consumers actually get the money. Currently money is cheap to loan so the rich and wealthy profit from “inflation”, why? You ask: because the assets they hold are being inflated by the perviously mentioned cheap loans given out to banks by the FED and then lended to corporations or already wealthy people who use the loaned money to inflate the prices of said assets even further. Because the goverment is also full of fucking retards, poor people can’t get loans after 2008 because they are so fucking dumb and the government has to protect them from their own retardation. This just creates a massive fucking feedback loop where the poor can’t afford any assets, the rich drive up asset prices which the poor can’t afford ad nauseam.

Should I go withdraw my money from the bank NOW? Get the vibe we're only a few weeks/months away from a bank run in the U.S. I highly doubt the bank would let me use the money in my bank account electronically to pay bills once a bank run starts. Heck they'd probably not only limit how much you can withdraw BUT ALSO HOW MUCH you can use electronically.

>Yes I understand you have enough in the bank and are not over the credit limit but no exceptions

Why do we tell people to not stereotype? Stereotyping is innate to the human mind and most of the time can be beneficial. For example, see black guy and stereotype that he’s bad guy, then stay away.

Money is inherently worthless, it is about what it can buy you. After basic needs are met the best thing to buy is assets which beat inflation and/or provide a passive income. Apart from a realistic contingency on hand you should have your money working for you instead of sat waiting for a 'rainy day'. Your assets should be split from almost impossible to relatively easy to liquidate should you have a really fucking rainy year. Like I can leave my job and survive quite happily for at least a year with cash on hand. I can maintain my current spending for 6 months if I really wanted things to stay the same. I have insurance, but I can afford a car, major home repairs etc. Past that why do I need numbers in a bank account? What I need is more free time, more time with my family, more opportunities to do the things I love, freedom from wage slavery as I get older, the ability to provide for my child and start them off a bit better off than I was.

That because the newly-printed money has only been available to the already-wealthy, who spend it on stocks, bonds, art, planes, and real estate, all of which have been inflating like crazy.

The government was literally forcing banks to give loans to poor 'people' which it imported from the third world for the express purpose of using them to create debt by giving them these loans, with the overall goal to crash the economy and wipe out the middle class (white people) and replace them with poorer easier-to-control third-worlders.

No, you're not seeing the whole picture here. Automation makes everything cheaper and better, every single year. Inflation increases prices. As a result, if inflation is low, prices remain the same even though the currency's purchasing power drops. If inflation is high, costs continue to go down but prices continue to go up.

The biggest investment is the initial setup. Once you have that, running it is many times cheaper.
