Damn, that's wild. Better give the billionaires another tax break and fuck the working class harder, that'll definitely fix everything.

This is kind of an overreaction. It is true that if we end up with deflation or stagflation, it's things will get REALLY bad (we have less tools to combat them. In fact you pretty much have to resort to extreme measures such as going to war to take resources), but having lower inflation doesn't necessarily mean it'll immediately change course.
