What deflation? Where is the dollar gaining in value?

Last year it took almost $150 to buy a barrel of oil, over $4 to buy a gallon of gas. Oil is now $47, gas about $2.

You can't claim deflation based on a few sectors of the entire market place loosing value.
Everything else is generally more expensive. Have you bought any groceries lately? Tires, garden hoses, etc etc.? Inflation is alive and well.
