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

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?

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

No. In fact, the majority of the time GDP growth goes hand in glove with inflation.

Consider that office rents rise as a local economy heats up. Look at property prices in "hot" economic areas like Vegas.

It's only in the esoteric, academic world where one can filter out reality while focusing solely upon mere "theory" that anyone can really say with a straight face that GDP growth "causes" deflation.

Oh sure, in theory there can be cases where GDP growth actually causes deflation, but that's the exception. The rule is that most of the time we see higher prices as an area grows economically.

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

You're just being argumentative again. That accomplishes nothing, save for showing that you are more interested in somehow scoring "right" points than in correctly analyzing the impact of world events.
