...Inflation isn't an increase in prices, it is an increase in the money supply...

--and prices and money supply follow different paths.  They can go up and down together and they can go in opposite directions.  Most people (including those at the Fed) say "inflation" is a general increase in prices which is why I'm not expecting a rate hike, but if you want us to change inflation to mean a growing money supply then we can say we've had that kind of inflation for several years now.
