Concerning inflation concerns, it has to do with the fed's policies. Concerns about the growth of the money supply (M2 and M3) are what concern people like me. Check out the relationship below.
M2 tends to be a rough leading indicator of inflation. And the fall of the dollar (up until the last few months) has also contributed to a growing worry about the downward pressure on purchasing power.
This site has a bunch of cool graphs showing a bunch of macroeconomic trends.
With the economy now tanking, fears such as these are less of a concern now. But that doesn't make them less valid at the time.
