Talk:Reflation

I am wondering if this is an accurate description of reflation -- specifically the part about being the opposite of deflation. I think, and I am only aware of this because I work as a designer for equities researchers, that reflation is an attempt to prevent or ease deflation. Such tactics as lowering interest rates, easing taxes, and printing more money is meant to keep the economy from going stale after a period of growth. The best example of late is Fed interest rates being reduced to 1% to keep things afloat after the tech bubble of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

According to the article, reflation is essentially inflation+reduction of taxes. Does this really need an own article, couldn't this be put in the inflation article?

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
