"Don't bore me with drivel about how we have inflation and deflation at the same time. We don't. What we have is raging inflation, and a few dim bulbs who want to confuse the issue by calling it "deflation"." That's the answer to my questions? Here is my entire query to you: "You define inflation as primarily an increase in prices. Okay. So what does it mean if the capital being "banked" on in the credit system is pretend?; .i.e. the assets purportedly backing up the "capital" are not worth the amount assigned on the books. What are the implications of this going forward--for prices, for economic growth? What is the effect of the institutional failures that result from the high leveraging of credit that ceases to be available?" Drivel? Deflation? Can't you do better than that? I haven't engaged you about these issues for quite a spell because you don't deal with the query. I apologize for boring you. Same old, same old. Ta ta.
