I think consumer prices will remain depressed compared to input costs until excess competition are eliminated. Only then are consumer prices will really rise, jacked up by survivors. But that is also when prices will peak. I don't think excess has been eliminated yet (airlines, tech, etc) I agree, but I think inflation will continue longer before deflation starts.

I'll be a convert to the deflation argument when milk is on sale for $3 a gallon, and bread is back to $1.49 where it was two years ago.
