I would've said the same thing but
this is a bit worrying...
I would accept a fiat currency if the Fed would make it's goal be 0% inflation. According to my macro book by Mankiw we could maintain 0% inflation if we wanted, it would just be painful getting there; once we're there it would be essentially the same. Oh, and only if they actually implemented a reasonable CPI bundle and didn't change it to suit their purposes.
