ou have that bass-ackwards, kNight. Inflation favors the mortgage paying debtor; whereas, deflation favors the mortgage/rent-receiving property owner.

What is happening today with stagflation is wages are going down because of the high number of people unemployed plus prices are going up because of the feds monetary decisions. Get ready because I am hearing rumors of Quantitative Easing 3(QE3) coming after summer but cannot figure how this move would help Obama.
