What was said around it

not redeeming them for starbucks coffee we could let inflation go as high as it needs to as long as we just average out eventually to two percent a year that means if we see one percent inflation every year for ten years the fed would have no problem with sixteen percent inflation the following three years just if that averages out to two percent a year that also means if we take our average inflation rate since 2012 we come up to an average amount of 11.8 percent worth of inflation over the last eight years under this over the next year the fed could potentially drive up inflation 6.2 percent and then technically they're able to hit their average long term of their two percent think of this almost like making up for lost time or encouraging short-term inflation with the expectation that they can always bring it down in the future once the economy recovers when it comes to this let's talk about the good news first and then we'll talk about the bad news because everyone likes the good news first right maybe not but anyway here's the good news for investors this means the value of your investments could be going up that's because generally speaking asset prices like stocks and real estate
