IMO it make sense to add qualifiers like "inflation in consumables" "deflation in assets"

I am in both camps. Wild inflation first and desperate deflation after. Just like Germany between WWI and WWII.

I am in both camps with a long prolonged deflationary bust first.

>>Wild inflation first and desperate deflation<<

There's the rub, Stanley....it could be the other way around, when FOMC Chairman Bernanke attempts to monetize all the bad paper blowing up in everyone's face. Wild deflation first, followed by desparate re-inflation? Geez, I hope so....<G>

The only sane portfolio allocation now is to have 50% in leap poots on GOOG, LEND and TOL and the other 50% in DROOPY......<G>

Price deflation will happen when prices are finally so high, that the government must slice six zeros off prices, so as to continue the game of taxation through monetary inflation while insisting inflation rates are low. Some people, even then, will still believe in the deflation bunny.
