Yes, deflation can and has happened but over the longer term inflation is a
constant.

The way they are fighting the current problems could very well lead to hyper
inflation.  They are dumping a lot of cash on the system and running up huge
debts.  The way every government in history has paid its bills is via
inflation.  With the bills we have run up and the cash thrown about the next
round of inflation could be a dozy.
