> if inflation were “good” then the US along with many countries the word over would cause it to happen

Literally every single one of them that controls its own monetary policy (including the US) actively and deliberately does, so there's that.

My implication was extraordinary inflation isn’t good. The fed, since Bush/Clinton/Greenspan targeted 2-3.5% as desirable “good”.

What I mean is if what we have now (which is about double the norm) were good, we would have done it a long time ago and so would have others.
