I’m sure we can blame it on Bush. That and Jim Crow laws.

Obama borrowed seven trillion dollars, printed another three trillion and proclaimed himself an economic genius.

One theory I have heard for the absence of inflation, that SHOULD accompany such massive borrowing and money-printing, is that even with all this, we haven't begun to catch up with the unmeasurable explosion in productivity and value associated with technology.

Studies by Sir Henry Phelps-Brown of a "market basket" of goods from the 1200s to the 1970s showed that there never has been a "mountain range" of inflation---up and down---but rather a stair step associated with major social/economic reorganizations: 1) the commercial revolution of the 1400s; 2) capitalism and the industrial revolution of the 1700s/early 1800s; and 3) the technological/computer revolution of the 1980s-present.

I get where this is coming from from an economic perspective, but we there are far more prices in play than oil. The FED is still trying to boost the money supply through the roof, if it weren't for the regulations keeping the reserves in the banks instead of getting into the hands of investors we would have massive inflation not deflation.

2nd has anyone who thinks that prices are falling tried to buy food lately?

[Uncle Miltie]

Deflation caused by low oil prices is something I’ll take all day long.

It’s not deflation here ... :-) ...

Deflation is great for anyone with savings. It’s disastrous for government, which actively promotes inflation as a way of making the elderly poor and dependent on government.

Actually, the most accurate is the globe is under MASSIVE NO COLLATERAL: DEBT INFLATION.

You heard it here first! DEBT INFLATION.

Because there is NO ‘REAL’ COORESPONDING COLLATERAL. As in “real”-estate. This is the reason for the current Greece, and all the rest of the COUNTERFEIT “Restructuring” scam.

NO DIFFERENT FROM THE 08 MBS (fake/counterfeit) collapse.

No restructuring EVER took place in the U.S. instead it has GROWN WORSE..AND IT HAS been off-loaded onto the backs of others (NON-exempt citizens as COLLATERAL) in the largest human TRAFFICKING attempt in history, Extortion-Care. Extortion-Care MBS mortgages, backstop for debt.

Trafficking

Because it’s all about buying and selling human flesh as Body Mortgages by “insurance”-”banking”. To be bought, sold, and traded, like animals, as the next Mortgage Backed Securities. Trafficking

Which is why Extortion-Care was bribed through, the ponzi MBS backstop. Trafficking in the selling of Human Body Mortgages by so called “insurance-banking.”

The new MBS, leveraged to any amounts, to any forced deductibles, any forced premiums, any forced coercion taxation, any forced account seizures. The selling and trafficking in Human Body Mortgages.

So your now hearing the cries, to GROW, the global economy out of DEBT INFLATION,...

while Americans, in the form of ‘real’(as in real-estate) have the backstop load on their necks in the form of BodyMortgages BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD(the word mortgage means “death”-”grip”, see your dictionary.)

This IS trafficking, people.

[PoloSec]

As far as I can tell from my wallet, except for lower prices at the gas pump, inflation is traveling full speed ahead.

One would think that lower fuel prices would cause lower prices in most other things your average American citizen would spend money on; I just ain’t seeing it.

[Zionist Conspirator]

But again: isn't deflation a good thing???

[txrefugee]

Deflation is cured by massive wars that crank up production and kill thousands of younger men, thus reducing the labor surplus. As long as those dead do not include you or a loved one, you can make a handsome post-war profit. Millions have done that in the past.
