Car prices are down, housing prices are down, clothing prices are down, pretty much all of the other things I buy I can find extreme deals on (electronics and everything else I purchase..TVs, computers, all way down). Sure, food and gas are up. But guess what...since I was 10 years old, food and gas has always increased. It's part of life. If anything, there's asset deflation, bigtime, occurring around many global economies.
