Read the article and it absolutely makes no sense. The headline is contradicted by the article.

The progressive Fed and the Keynsian religion in academia have everyone fearing deflation.

Deflation is only a problem because of the huge government and private debts our leaders and the Federal Reserve have foisted on the nation.

In a world with real money, deflation would be a natural occurrence as average citizens would receive all the benefits of steadily increasing productivity and technology causing steadily lower prices.

And it will mean lower COLAs for SS and federal pensions next year.

Why isn’t food prices coming down when energy costs are lower?

Thank God for cheap gas to fill the car! It’s been a long time coming. I’m still looking for $1.35/gallon.

Deflation is bad for big government.

And those extracting leaching living lavishly excess party DC ers, celebrating false value are stealers thiefs. And they are hiding under cover as if they are providing value, and actually are stealing, and extorters. Prague 1968

I have a very economical car that I don’t drive very much, so the lower gas price hasn’t really changed anything for me, but I do notice you can easily fit $100 worth of food in a mini-cart.

I’ve always preferred deflation because prices can never go lower than zero. Inflation never reaches a ceiling.

The good number is zero. That should be the Fed’s sole and only goal. Let the market sort it out from there.

The crash in oil prices might be good for consumers, but it's terrible for inflation data.

For Keynesians.

You can thank Slick Willie for changing the rules for computing the inflation index beginning in 1992. It’s been a fraud ever since.

A decline in the rate of inflation is the worst inflation, and it’s due to falling retail gasoline prices which aren’t tracked in the core inflation metrics? Got it, lol.

Core" inflation — which strips out the cost of food and energy and is the number more closely watched by economists

Core inflation.. That's the one you see on the NEWS when they want you to forget the price increase in food and gas. The increases anyone who actually shops every week sees.
Increases such as 1 lb pkg of pasta is now 12 oz, the 1 qt mayo is now 30 oz, doz eggs was 1.00, now 1.30. Beef up 30%.
Gas way up.
Simple gov manipulation of the facts, who'd thought?
The MSM parrots pass it on.

You print money, it is worth less = inflation. Why is this surprising to anyone? what is surprising is that they continue to do it monthly.
