BS. Fed has been fighting deflation for years. We have selective deflation, not the Great Depression deflation, yet,

As a result, while governments have greatly stepped up borrowing, inflation, as he sees it, has remained subdued

LOL!

I guess this guy hasn't been to the supermarket lately

Real Estate isn't deflating, it was artificially over priced for years and it's still over priced.

A good video why America won't have a lost decade of deflation like Japan

The thing is, it’s not just M1 and M2 that affect inflation. Given the collapse of the real estate values, there really hasn’t been a great influx of “money” to drive up prices.
