I feel like doing some sort of NGDP targeting is one of those things that you might be able to get intellectuals on both sides of the aisle could get behind, but the populists of the two parties' likely wouldn't let it happen. On the left, fiscal stimulus is much more popular, as the spending done to improve things would be out in the open and done by government officials, not private companies. On the right, trusting government to be able to "target" something and hit that target, in this case inflation, sounds implausible.
And more.
