TOKYO (Reuters) - Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Tuesday that monetary easing alone is not enough to end deflation and push up prices. "The deflationary mindset that has beset Japan for such a long time won't change suddenly. But we've seen some changes in the past two years, which is significant," Aso told parliament.

Here is another point of view to the possible outcomes of government interventions to inflation. In US' case it is Federal Reserve Bank who is the decision mechanism that determines the monetary policies.
