Ah, so as you try making a negative out of a positive, tell me why Trump boostedthat he would have a 4.0 growth rate or higher when he was campaigning? Are you saying that Trump was also boosting of raising the inflation rate as well?You do understand that growth rate represents inflation right....as in, not a good thing
• The fact that prices and economic growth may go up together does not prove economic growth leads to price inflation. It only shows there are other factors at play. Logically, it does not make much sense that genuine economic growth can lead to general price inflation. If anything, economic growth is deflationary in nature, but counteracted by inflationary monetary policy. Inflation just means a rise in prices. It doesn’t mean any more than that. If you want to measure economic growth, measure it adjusted for inflation.
• There is a relationship between inflation (perceived) economic growth, but not (real) economic growth. You could argue that the lower than market value interest rates that accompany inflation allow increased borrowing, which increases GDP.
