Too much spending causes inflation. Not enough spending causes deflation, which is where we're at now. As a consequence the Fed can easily monetize the entire the entire national debt, which will merely prevent unemployment from reaching 30%, without causing inflation.

There's no absolute rule in economics, it's all relative to what's going - the conditions on the ground, the military might say. Which is why an economist might say something is true, ceteris paribus, meaning holding all other things constant.
