Most economist say that low 3% inflation is ideal.

Probably because so many of us can remember the 70's
compared to the 30's.
I wish growth would get up to 3%, it's closer to 1% at the moment. This low growth is part of what is driving the commodities market, because cash has no place else to go. The second that the market starts looking healthy, everyone will dump the commodities and get back into the market... bye, bye bubble.
