Inflation: Measures
built 201 days ago
[I]nflation targeting improves transparency, leading to better communication and so helping public understanding of the central bank’s goals. In turn, better public understanding helps to make the monetary framework more credible and ... to anchor inflation expectations. Transparency measures often include regular public reports by the central bank giving its inflation forecasts and the motivation behind its monetary policy decisions.

An experimental program is underway to further test inflation with more precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background. In particular, high precision measurements of the so-called "B-modes" of the polarization of the background radiation will be evidence of the gravitational radiation produced by inflation, and they will ... show whether the energy scale of inflation predicted by the simplest models (1015–1016 GeV) is correct.[39][40] These measurements are expected to be performed by the Planck satellite, although it is unclear if the signal will be visible, or if contamination from foreground sources will interfere with these measurements.[44] Other forthcoming measurements, such as those of 21 centimeter radiation (radiation emitted and absorbed from neutral hydrogen before the first stars turned on), may measure the power spectrum with even greater resolution than the cosmic microwave background and galaxy surveys, although it is not known if these measurements will be possible or if interference with radio sources on earth and in the galaxy will be too great.[45]

If that 'savings' would be put into the trust fund to shore it up for future retirees then some might better justify the reason for changing inflation measurement criteria. But it was not saved for the future, it was siphoned-off and spent.
