All I Want for Christmas is Two: An Ode to Target Inflation and Mariah Carey
BGO's The Chief Economist, Ryan Severino, CFA channeled his inner-Mariah Carey to pen his remix to the holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas.”
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need.
And I promise that I’ll share it
This wish does not come from greed
I just want inflation low
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas Is Two
(Percent)
There is just one thing I need (and I)
know that it is not easy
On this point I will concede
I don’t need expensive housing
Taking up more of our pay
Yet consumers are still splurging
On their gifts for Christmas Day
Shoppers would feel full of cheer
If low prices could appear
All I want for Christmas is two
Two, percent
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
Just want to keep inflation
At target, or just below
I won’t beg for rate reductions
Or a bailout from the Fed
I won't even read the minutes
To see what Chair Powell just said
'Cause I just want it here today
But tax cuts might get in the way
What more can I do?
Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is two
Oh-oh, CPI’s still rising, so pricey everywhere (so pricey, baby)
And with wage growth slowing, it seems so unfair (oh, oh, yeah)
The stock market is booming (oh, yeah)
Although tariffs are looming.
Santa, won't you bring me the thing I really need? (Yeah, oh)
Won't you bring low inflation to me?
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
I don’t even need high growth
Or robust productivity
Even though we could get both
All I want for Christmas is two, percent
All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is two, percent
All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is two, percent
