You're not being a pompous prick at all; in fact, your arguments are thorough and to the point. And I do admit I am using dramatic statistics, but it is because I am trying to present evidence to an audience unfamiliar to the area of topic.

And the statistics are dramatic ....well...because they are. That's how bad things are.

I was talking more about the economy with my list.

As far as deflation is concerned, there's deflation in things we want (houses, cars, luxury items), and inflation in things we need (food, oil, gas, utilities).

Until hyperinflation hits, of course.

You believe the same Fed that gave bankers billions of dollars and is actively working against congress to be audited, is going to 'decrease the money supply', ignore our huge debt and save us all?

You are drinking alot of government kool-aid. Keep watching CNBC.
