you think with exclusion... yes deflation
but with inflation in certain sectors
most notably energy

you must be referring to the deflationary period in 1930's
I believe 1870 was reacting to large scale inflation from the Civil War
for a little project, gathered CPI on historical basis
amazing to see Civil War consequence
inflation raged for 5-7 years, then quieted

let me ask you something
where do you think the $3.5 trillion increase in money supply went since 1990 ?
where will it show up ?
where will its consequence be evident ?

how long do you think GreenJeans will allow low shorterm
rates ?
what happens to the Naz with 2% higher rates ?

will companies raise prices to handle higher energy costs ?
and raise for higher interest costs ?

will the dollar remain high in valuation forever ?

most answers point to higher inflation in a timeframe past our noses
I expect to see BOTH deflation and inflation in a strange mix
with jetstreams in the huge currency markets, that might produce a powerful gradient hurricane
how it plays out will be interesting
