Goldman Sachs report says that the chance of recession is down to 15%.
Should President Biden get credit for this? 555

Honestly we need a recession. Or something that'll bring prices backdown. It's hard to imagine meals at McDonalds will never go back down... I still pull up thinking there is a dollar menu. The McDouble that was $1 a few years ago is now like $3.79.

Nothing brings prices down. The best you can hope for is a slower rise.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Beef prices are fixing to jump.

We don't actually want prices to come down. I'm not 100% sure why, but that's what clever people say. And by clever people, I mean of course economists.
Clever, but not quite clever enough to do a proper science degree. -

So US inflation is at 3% and that's really bad, and China's is negative, and that's really bad too.
What would be considered a good level?

After 2 years of high inflation? We will need to see several years at 1-1.5%.

At one time 3% would have been considered really low. It’s really more important that we don’t have big fluctuations in my fairly untutored opinion, and that wages keep pace?

Absolute number? Yeah. Inflation has fallen from a high of 7.04% to 3.66%. About half.
Decrease in rate? Under Reagan it fell from from 8.92% to 3.83%.
