mish, it seems you cannot have a debate without resorting to namecalling. later Exactly what name did I call you? Here is my last post in entirety.... To say that there is overcapacity, oversupply, and underdemand is not the same as saying a "rising $CRB is evidence of deflation". You made a totally bogus statement and then tried to attribute it to me. I thought you had more class than that. How many times do I have to say "deflation is a decrease in the supply of money and credit". I have only been talking prices because everyone here thinks inflation is higher prices. Oddly enough prices have been falling a all kinds of things lately: Natural gas, oil, gasoline, prices at restaurants, copper, gold, silver, sugar, trucks, SUVs, etc. Of course orange juice is rising and even though it does not show up anywhere in stats, China is supposedly wants to hike prices on "stuff". I guess inflation = rising prices, except when they are falling, then we still have inflation. I will stick to my definition, but if one wants to talk prices then one can't have it both ways. The deflationary pressures right now are enormous. Please note: deflationary pressures does NOT mean deflation. Mish Yes I did think you had more class than to make a totally bogus claim mocking me with a claim that I said a "rising $CRB is evidence of deflation". I never said that and I still defy you to show where I said that. Yes you posted a link, but a link where I did not say anything remotely close to that. Now you are shunning the debate because I called you on it. My last response was actually rather tame in light of the nonsense you attempted to attribute to me then followed up with... "to a man with a hammer, everything's a nail! mish, you can't have it both ways. as my great grandma used to say: Shiat or get off the pot.". So now when I respond to your totally bogus claim (followed with a taunt) you are offended that I call you on it. Are you serious or simply backing off because you know you are dead wrong? Look - I am more than willing to have a civil discussion with you BUT NOT when you purposely bait me and make false claims about what I have previously said. The one thing I can not tolerate is people misstating my position and you went well out of your way to do just that. Your statement: mish, lately you have been harping on the fall in the CRB as more "evidence" of deflation. this is pretty funny given that previously, you used the sharp RISE in the CRB as evidence of deflation. so i guess the CRB is proof of deflation whether it is rising or falling. is a total fabrication of reality and quite frankly you should apologize for it.
