If inflation is good why did they design their metric to under report how much inflation there is?

Under-promise. Over-deliver.

LOL

inflation is great for debtors, it sucks for savers. they want us all broke, in massive debt, and making minimum payments, just like they are

The richest people in the world, particularly those who climbed the net worth ladder, use paper debt to accrue hard assets.

yeah I'm talking about our government lol

Remember a year or two ago when JPow was asked "why 2% inflation target?" in a congressional hearing, and he danced around, saying how getting people to think it's gonna be 2% makes it more likely to trend toward 2% via self-fulfilling prophecy, and never answered the question of why 2% is beneficial for people?

It's the rate of theft they think they can get away with...that sweet spot of max theft coupled with low enough risk of people catching on.

People fight accepting this fact so hard...
