I've never heard anyone tell me they were going to quit working because the US government wasn't printing money fast enough. I have heard people tell me they weren't making enough money to cover their expenses on a month-to-month basis as a result of cost increases. These happen to correlate with inflation.

Even in the case of extreme deflation, it only becomes an issue when you have people trying to do weird things with physical currency like cut a penny into 1/4s and use it to buy different goods.
