Why not just freeze prices then? I guess because you still have to purchase goods from abroad that wouldn't freeze prices? Inflation sucks and I hate it.
I hate inflation too, but I understand why it's necessary. Imagine if rich people had an even easier time hoarding their wealth.
Although now that think of it, maybe at this point we really don't need to create positive feedback loops for economic growth anymore.
