"inflation" is a euphemism for debasement

 The term "inflation" is a propogandistic euphemism for currency debasement.

Inflation, generally, means something is getting bigger.  In the case of currency debasement, the things people might want to present as getting bigger are: prices and wages.  This is wrong.  Something is getting smaller.  The value of each currency unit (franc, pound, dollar, euro or yen) is getting smaller.  That's why the number of units you need for the same thing, goes up.  The reason the value got smaller is that the dipshits operating it printed a lot of new units, out of nowhere, in the world's largest type of corruption by magnitude of value diverted.  They printed them for themselves and their friends, and the rest is complificating bullshit, so even those "with an eye for detail" end up not being able to see it.

A better term would be debasement.

Having use of the term "inflation" then allows for language tricks to be employed, like talk of "reflating the economy", which has to be good, right?  And terrifying phrases like "the spectre of deflation", talking about any situation in which the currency is not continually debased.  Deflation has to be bad, right?  It sounds pretty bad.  You don't want the economy to deflate, do you?  These language tricks are too easy and too effective.

A better term for deflation would be enbasement.

Debasement and enbasement, not inflation and deflation.

(I don't advocate currency enbasement as policy, but rather genuine value stability (price stability)).
