How silly. A few years ago people watched as the U.S. Dollar price of commodities and real estate quadrupled - and I never heard anyone worried sick about inflation. Today while we see commodity and real estate prices plunging I see groups of people panicked about the "rampant inflation" Ben Bernanke has allegedly created. The proof seems to be a partial recovery of the decline in copper prices as China stockpiles the metal, much as an earlier generation of Japanese previously stockpiled real estate in New York and California - providing them with massive losses. Apparently inflation is a decline in prices, while rapidly increasing Dollar price is prosperity. I think some have grasped hold of the wrong end of the stick. .
