To reiterate:

The reason is that there exists staggeringly more dollar denominated debt than cash dollars (about a 50 Trillion dollar difference). This enormous amount of debt, as it implodes, is killing the ability to inflate -- despite the FED's efforts.

A reduction in the aggregate value of dollar-denominated debt is deflation, which is what we have going on now.
