Constant price increases are an inherent feature of a capitalistically growing economy. A responsible central bank provides the necessary liquidity for responsible banks - therefore the money supply must grow with it - and that is not bad per se. Constant-price economies are socialist or medieval, which has other disadvantages.

The subprime bubble could have been prevented by financial market regulation or a responsibly acting banking system. Money supply for speculative purposes is indeed toxic.
