QE, Fractional reserve banking is basically printing money on every loan, us gov't budget deficit prints money. In terms of inflation, it does seem the supply needed to keep expanding to prevent a liquidity collapse of the economy - though my suspicion is it needed to keep expanding because the finanicialized sections of the economy basically keep sucking it up, somehow locking it up from liquidity in the economy.
