Not my field, so let me ask:

If the printing presses at the US Mint run constantly and we issue lots of greenbacks, that would tend to be inflationary, right?

And if we sell $800B in US bonds to China, that is a debt and is deflationary, right?

Yup.

Printing money is inflationary.
Going into debt is deflationary.
