Krugman Calls for 4% Inflation Target

In his own words:
...it turns out that the Fed’s 2 percent target for core inflation is not a target, it’s an upper bound... (I’d prefer 4, but that’s a different issue)
And this is coming, btw, from a  guy who thinks there is little or no inflation now.

  1. A 4% core inflation target was always his position. What exactly is note worthy about this?

    Oh nothing, except that he'd prefer to rob American citizens by even more than they already are being robbed? :)
