To the barricades! ;-)

I am not concerned much, if at all, about a low level of inflation. Nor are most economists. An economy as large and dynamic as ours is never going to behave like a metronome. It has to breathe a little in response to normal fluctuations in supply and demand. When inflation is high, that's a problem. Fortunately that has not happened in quite a while now. The major economic issues we have encountered the past several years were / are due to other factors.
