The problem is these morons actually seem to think inflation IS growth >_< I'm not sure they know the difference.
Growth causes inflation, not the other way around! Correlation doesn't imply causation, and this is a prime example.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Inflation?s=t
Economics . a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency ( opposed to deflation ).
Price rises are just that, price rises, the problem is people ( mainly neo-keynesians ) keep deliberately confusing the two things, if the price rise doesn't involve the volume of a currency then it has nothing to do with inflation.
