The EXEMPT US Congress could care less.

They will spend TRILLIONS on useless agencies
to remove more Freedoms from the sheeple
whom they actually were elected to serve.

Deflation is a myth. In order to have deflation central banks would physically have to destroy currency and reduce the currency supply. Money does shift though, creating the illusion of deflation when the resulting price fluctuations hit specific sectors of the economy.

So if inflation is bad, why is it bad to deflate the inflation?

Be warned. Deflation is the first phase of a gigantic economic collapse. Keep your eyes and ears open. It is coming here soon. Best to be prepared.

"deflation", no it's called lower prices. The price of fuel is dropping closer to where it should be which will lower the price of nearly everything.

No matter what the economists say, this is a GOOD thing.

Deflation is a market mechanism. It’s telling you something. Prices are too high and cannot be supported at current supply-demand levels. Government spending just makes the situation worse. Prices, like water, seek their own level.

Outside of government intervention, there is no period of permanent deflationary spirals in United States’ history. In the short run let prices fall.

The permanent cure is multiple competing currencies and a return to bank clearing houses.

Why can’t that happen? Don’t blame the banks. Blame local, county and state governments that live off of property taxes. If properties were allowed to fall to their true level, every one of those entities would be bankrupt. Driven mainly by pensions.

The market system is talking to us. Deflation happens for a reason. We need to listen.

DEFLATION IS HERE

"Nobody is disputing what pushed inflation over the zero mark. It's the decline in oil prices"
