In the second last paragraph you write, “Taxes have risen as deficits expand because government thinks inflation is the danger.” Link:

The two placed in the same room could never have a true dialog of any meaning.
The bankers are worried about deflation and the politicians, like Merkel, are worried about inflation. It is confusing, but hey, anyone who actually thinks electing people without trading experience is the way to run an economy should ask the parking attendant who parks a car if they are free to fix a cavity in your tooth.
