I think we have a selective kind of inflation where the price of some things, mostly things we really need, are rising and the price of things that are correlated to US labor are not. I often visit a local diner and it is remarkable how low they have kept their prices, while at the same time my grocery bill seems to go up steadily. lj

\|\| Given that the Flow of Funds Report Offers Hard Evidence of Deflation Total credit went down by $1.8 trillion based on your flow of funds report. Some of it are reimbursements, some of it are repudiations (writedowns). The former is deflationary. The later is not. Furthermore, I read that significantly more is being (or has been) injected on banks balance sheet. Granted, there is sectorial price deflation, but is there really monetary deflation?
