US inflation has been stable for almost 40 years.

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'stable'. Just eye-balling the data here shows there are historical swings of around ~4-5% on a per-year basis: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/historical-i...

And of course the 2008 'financial crisis' didn't really result in 'stable inflation' in the US within the last 40 years.
