No because currency with built-in deflation is a bad idea. It would get scrapped very quickly.
Yes sir. Wouldn't want regular folks to be able to retain the value of their savings! Government's restricted to being fiscally responsible instead of printing their way out of problems with the hidden tax on the poor that is inflation? Ridiculous!
Oof, that's not how economics works.
Inflation is good so long as wages are rising with it. It's killing us right now because wages are stagnating hard right now.
That's a feature not a bug.
