Deflation is a wonderful thing! Inflation is bad because it is a tax in the poor people. Rich people can avoid inflation. Poor people cannot. Once you have deflation that stuff that cost 500, drops to 400. It becomes within the reach of the guy with less money and he consumes what before was beyond his reach. Inflation is bad because as assets increase in price, and keep increasing, speculators step in and fuel inflation further, which in its turn bring more speculators resulting in a bubble. There are places created with the sole prupose of living off inflation: Dubai! The price of the properties were supposed to be increasing forever. There are quite a few people who love inflation. For instance thos who poured the money there. It is wrong to believe that deflation is bad because postpone purchases thus creating more deflationary pressures. As soon as the guy see a good deal he jumps is. See for instance the stimulus in Brazil as government dropped the tax in cars and the market kicked out in earnest.

Whom FDR used to take US of the Great Depression? Poor people. It took the millions of the seven depressed area into the US economy. That created a demand pull and helped the US economy to growth again. I know more about the US than the Americans.
