Here are seven video excerpts from his speech:

The next six media tips look back at Bob Prechter's forecasts for deflation as early as January 2003. In that same month, he set the record straight, regarding the causes of Japan’s deflationary disease in the "Lost Decade" of the 1990s. He also saw parallels with the growing credit bubble in the United States. Out-of-check credit — not low interest rates — was to blame, he said.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke frequently assures the public that the central bank can successfully arrest deflation. He gave an entire speech in November 2002 titled, "Deflation: Making Sure 'It' Doesn't Happen Here" in which he said that the government can “produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost, thereby reducing the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services and raising the prices in dollars” to generate “positive inflation."
