    Bringing prices down means deflation and that is terrible for the economy. It means the real value of debt increases which disincentivises investment. It also risks a deflationary spiral which is a situation where decreases in the price level lead to lower production, which in turn leads to lower wages and demand, which leads to further decreases in the price level.
