New As long as interest rates are below inflation rates, it's an unnatural state.

It is a bit an uncharted territory to have had "quantitative easing" for so long. The Fed has to let things get back to normal. Slowly for sure.

New Spend like crazy
Fund every bridge and interstate repair project in the country. The money is essentially free, and putting that many people to work will put enough cash in circulation to raise inflation.
