The idea that deflation is inevitable is a virtual religion with a few posters here. My take is that we will see a lot more inflation BEFORE deflation takes hold, courtesy of your friendly CBs. Real estate may be ready to deflate, but I expect the CPI to move much higher a few years hence after a pause in late 2005/2006. Deflation scares are like Iraq WMD -- a scare tactic to sell hugely inflationary CB policies. We will not see sustained deflation or even disinflation IMHO until inflation has become so bad that the public sees it -- not unemployment --as the main problem.
