Immaculate Disinflation

The miraculous reduction of the rate of inflation without crashing the economy via recession or depression (a "soft landing").  This was only possible by Big Brother's BBnomics magic, with sprinklings of emergency spending and progressive policies, just resulting in mostly painless job losses, economic decline, increased prices, and disincentivizing interest rates.  As Big Brother likes to whisper, "It's working!"

Inflation
