Deflation: Don't Panic

Yes, we need to get "inflation back into the system", but lets do it in a way that will cause another giant asset bubble to form without causing inflation to "runaway".

That really worked out well last time.

Get ready for all kinds of crazy-talk this spring - heaven help us if the annual change in the CPI dips below minus one percent, or minus two percent...

Yes, people saving money is a bad thing - they must be compelled to "shift out of cash". We need another bubble to rescue us from the fallout of the last two.

My thoughts: After the media whips up the deflation panic, we can expect 15% inflation by 2011.
