I already pointed out the severe price deflation in automobiles.

If you shopped for electronics after Katrina, you would have noticed a similar price-slashing trend (though to a lesser extent).

Check out the price of a book at Barnes & Noble these days. Best-sellers have a 20% discount right off the top (which is odd, because the term "best-seller" implies that the demand is for these books is HIGH).

Internet shopping is even more curious, since many retailers offer free shipping on these purchases even though shipping costs ought to be substantially higher when fuel costs are higher.

"I already pointed out the severe price deflation in automobiles."

You wrote it. You didn't point it out. You provided no proof just an opinion. You site everyday sales on discretionary items as evidence of deflation. Please site some examples of deflation on necessities (food, energy, health care, taxes, etc.) Otherwise fly away, don't waste our time.
