Deflation or Inflation?

The one question I seem to get more than any is on (Hyper) Inflation versus Deflation. As previously noted, we clearly are in a Deflationary party of the cycle now.

While inflation may occur ion the future, and the possibility exists for Hyper-Inflation, these are merely potential issues down the road.

As  these two charts show, we now have Deflation, are likely to see it continue for some time into the future:
