If you need to get re-elected, a drop on purchasing power is not going to do it. And many people definitely feel that their quality of life is strongly tied to their purchasing power. Are you really equally happy if you are not able to afford the same things you were buying last year?

It's possible if you make an effort to steer away from advertisement and the consumerism ratrace. I've downsized several times in my life, with rather positive effects on my quality of life.

Sure, but that’s not what consumerism has been preaching, and not how elections are won. If you are interested in an ethical discussion, I fully agree with you. If you are interested in discussing how the world runs, you and I are outliers.
