"Maybe if you understood what the Federal Reserve did, you wouldn't be so confused."

Maybe you should stick to the topic at hand, rather than delving into the esoteric distinctions between "deflation" from that of "deflationary."

Not everyone wants to spin their wheels over mere symantics, after all.

Esoteric? More like basic. Deflation (inflation) is deflation (inflation). Something that is deflationary (inflationary) causes deflation (inflation).

GDP growth is deflationary, causes (not is) deflation.

Not everyone wants to spin their wheels over mere symantics(sic), after all.

Semantics, is that what you call it when you use the wrong word?

I thought I said that inflation was a monetary phenomenon? In that case, the Federal Reserve is the topic at hand.
