Governments love inflation because they want their citizens to do productive work instead of swimming in literal gold like in a scrooge mcduck vault.

We both know that's the wrong way of thinking about it, though, because people's saving don't just sit in a vault; they are invested in opportunities that tend to be productive. This whole question ultimately comes down to people's ideological alignment concerning the moral underpinnings and practical realities of central planning and collectivisation vs. private property and free markets.
