    Yeah but unfortunately that’s never going to change. Inflation is the rate of increase and they always want a rate of increase, just at 2%.

    It’s never going to go negative because growth for the growth gods!! :(

      Actually, it will never go negative (I hope) because if it goes negative we’re probably in for a massive global recession that will introduce untold suffering.

      You think they aim for 2% because that’s what’s good for rich people? 2% is the magic number for the whole economy.
