I agree. People have been expecting inflation here but, it’s been artificially stifled.

Have you not been to the grocery store lately? Inflation is very much here.

Less goods for the same price is still inflation.

Really? Have you compared today’s prices to last year’s prices? Check the sizes. The big 1.5 gallon cheap ice cream is now 1 gallon and 1 pint. There’s no such thing as 3 lb. tubs of margarine anymore, either. Coffee sizes are all over the place these days.

Other than on the things we buy and use ;(
Actually, I agree that we'd have much higher inflation if the economy was allowed to work normally. Holding interest rates down artificially - I wonder if that also impacts inflation. Or does the gov just want the inflation numbers low (and so pretend they are) so they can pay low COLAs and brag how well infation is doing...
