"Certainly made mincemeat of the silly arguments at the time that inflation was a "structural problem" rather than simply the lack of monetary discipline that it actually was"

and his next sentence is, "Now we have deflation. How long before Bush puts on his 'Whip Deflation Now' pin."

RE: [when you were claiming to have an econ degree from UC Berkeley (don’t see you touting that anymore, BTW]. You're much too intelligent to resort to this comment. Argue him on logic instead and acknowledge those areas where you might agree.

When someone uses a degree in order to bolster an argument then it is correct, mandatory in fact, to question that degree.

How dense are you? Did you not get it that elroy is now advocating the same deflation policy as Milton Friedman did in his 1969 essay "The optimal quantity of money". Go back and read the exchange, I have provided references to major assertions and invited Elroy to argue history and theory - his only response is evade the fallacies and contradictions inherent in his assertions.

Ironic to see all this printing of money, borrow and spend federal gov't, along with this new ownership society program to 'help' the masses get ahead. Who would have ever thought a country completely controlled by conservatives would have to resort to this while manipulating the BLS inflation stats, keep the interest rates at historic lows and expand multiples to cash flow on various asset classes to incredible heights.
