Because they don’t want you to just be saving cash and you don’t either, because it’s better for both of you to have that invested in something that’s generating money or advancing us technologically.

Without inflation (or negative inflation) people don’t invest, which means there’s no capital to do capitalism things, which means there’s no economy in the first place.
