The next deflationary shoe is already dropping and will continue well into 2011 as the option arm mortgage resets really hit their stride. All, of course, just IMHO.

I agree completely the deflation will continue for the next few years, its in the cards already, the hands have already been dealt out!
I can't agree with you that lenders are totally to blame, though of course they shoulder much of the responsibility. It takes two to enter into a transaction like that - a borrower and a lender.
