Has it? Nothing in my life except gasoline has gotten any cheaper.

Edit: I misread the comment. I am aware of the difference between rates and absolutes.

That isn't what the inflation number means. An inflation rate of 0% means prices stop going up and stay at their current level, not that prices go down. Prices going down would be deflation, and that almost certainly won't happen.

The other mistake you made was assuming that your personal experience is valid for the economy as a whole.

No, I made it quite clear it was a question.

Why would it get cheaper with a low inflation rate?

Low inflation rate means stuff get more expensive slower. It's still getting more expensive.

that's not what "less inflation" means
