There sure is a lot of debate on SI, on whether we need to be worrying about oncoming inflation or deflation. I'm in the camp that increases in the money supply eventually have to translate into inflation. And that fixing deflation is within every government's power: just print more money. Deflation can only happen if your currency is tied to gold, or you are using another country's currency, or you try other methods for a decade (Japan).
