Oh, it's worse than that. Even OP's title shows the problem. Inflation isn't even increasing prices. Inflation causes increasing prices. Inflation is just the increasing of the money supply.
Most people take it for granted that deflation is inherently evil and catastrophic. No, deflation only feels bad because it means the racket contracts and the parasitism gets destroyed. Same reason they say "there must always be zero unemployment" and that "businesses firing people is always bad". Downsizing has done wonders for twitter. Unemployment being at zero means there is a major labor shortfall in every industry. Deflation is the necessary correction to the money supply that will help us heal the economy.
It's like saying "Getting off crack is terrible, look at what withdraw does to you!"
