So this is a good thing? I don't understand inflation at all tbh.. is this something seen as good by everyone or is it more an ideological thing?

It shows confidence in the US economy, and the strength of the dollar backs that up. The low oil prices recently are definitely part of why people are more confident in the US economy. It's been 8 years since the crash, and the US has shown that we have dealt with the crisis and shown steady growth this whole time. The fact that the US went through such a major economic crisis and dealt with it confidently and with a clear pattern of growth and correction means that basically we are now stable enough to be trusted, and start increasing interest rates.
