Did you know that the US government considers 2% inflation to be GOOD

I'm not kidding, this is actually real

They think prices going down is bad, they call it "deflation"

So even though wages have barely increased but the McChicken is up 300% ($1 -> $4) and everyone who has to work for money is struggling, the US government and economists think prices going down would be bad

This is all real, capitalism is THAT fucking retarded
