Any price drop is temporary. The long haul trend is for massive inflation. Boone Pickens predicts we will see $300 a barrel for oil soon.
If the government keeps printing money, we will be like Germany in 1923.
When the Fed keeps interest rates low by pumping money into the system it causes inflation. They are not smart enough to figure out that cheap money here flows abroad to places that pay higher interest.
If you have money saved, put it into something that is not dollar denominated.

The only thing cheaper around here is alfalfa, but that was unusually high the last couple years.
