I agree about the dollar, and could see a monetary deflation at the same time as a retail inflation. Does that make sense? Destruction of fictitious capital, which normally would produce retail deflation, but instead the decline of the dollar will be a stronger force and raise import prices, raw materials, and so the buying power of the consumer will decline.

Maybe... the wildcard here is the game that the rest of the world plays with the dollar -- when will they stop trying to prop it up (or similarly, devalue their own currency to maintain exports)?
