toleration wiith off target outcomes

if its inflation

to the high side zero  toleration

if its unemployment

to  the high side toleration

no symmetry here at all

in fact no explicit UE rate target

or explicit time path to completion

NAIRU changes over time the experts claim
so opitmal UE rates change

well opitmal  inflation targets change too

now with zero bound and huge pri sec debt load
the inflation target oughta be 5% at least
not 2%
------------------------------
in fact the nairu and inflation rates oughta be closely yoked

7 % UE with 7% core inflation

why not ?

or

2% inflation 2%  UE rate
