haha, really there is very little inflation atm and the article actually admits market forces are largely to blame and also indirectly admits we're in a state of disinflation following the summer anyway... Look:
There are signs that core consumer prices could level off soon. Cotton prices have come down by nearly half from the spring, and clothing costs are expected to follow. prices are retreating, showing disinflation

And new-car prices rose earlier this year because of supply shortages caused by Japan's March 11 earthquake. The impact of that disruption is beginning to fade. New-car prices were unchanged in August for the second straight month. market forces

Food prices are still rising. The Agriculture Department said Monday that unusually hot summer weather has damaged the corn harvest, which could raise prices for corn and ultimately most food products. That's because corn is used in everything from cereals to animal feed to sodas. It takes about six months for changes in corn prices to filter down to grocery store shelves. market forces
If you're going to complain about policy, at least try to understand what it is you're complaining about.

America's economic situation is nothing like Greece, jackass; Why even bring it up?

Also, if you knew anything about the Eurozone crisis you would know that Austerity has only dug the hole deeper.

yep, had nothing to do with the govt injecting a few billion in, instead of allowing the market to work. keep trying little boy krugman junior.

Yeah, biased articles are extremely educating! He opens the article by bashing liberals in the first paragraph and then Obama in the second. Real informative...

The only real meat in the article is the authors opposition to a 4-6% inflation target, which is just ridiculous considering his argument against it relies on the confidence fairy - which isn't coming to save the day - and he offers nothing else... no alternative solutions, no explanation of why a higher inflation target wouldn't work... nothing.

Seriously? This is what you consider informative?

No, I did what anyone in a debate should do - I attacked the article based on it's content, instead of it's author; Until you can do the same, I'm done here.
