&gt;Deflation ( or low inflation ) works for the rich moreso because who do you think holds all that debt?<p>The...US Government.  I do not agree at all &#x27;deflation&#x27; works better for the rich.  I think you missed the part about being <i>leveraged</i> into assets.  That&#x27;s huge.<p>&gt;but we&#x27;re unable to maintain even 2%<p>Going by CPI?  Take a look at the Dow and RE and tell me inflation is less than 2%.
