Inflation is at 1.7% and dropping. During this same timeframe wage growth has increased 3.2%. We are not experiencing a 2% inflationary environment

Inflation is at 1.7% and dropping.
It dropped by a whopping .1% for ONE MONTH, mainly due to a drop in oil prices. With energy and food prices removed, inflation was 2.4% in August.

Don't pretend that the Fed shouldn't be paying attention to the core inflation rate.

The "2%" figure is the Fed's inflation goal. The core inflation rate is currently exceeding that goal.
