Inflation is Transitory

Banana Ben has declared that inflation is transitory.  I guess he hasn't looked at a 10 year chart of crude oil, corn, cotton, gold, copper, etc.  Are those uptrends transitory?  The lies coming out of the Fed continue so they can pump up everything in sight.

I wonder what a chart of medical costs or college tuition looks like over the past 10 years.   Looks to me like deflation was transitory, as it lasted all of 6 months from October 08 to March 09. 

But ipad and iphone prices aren't going up, even with added features, so we have to worry about deflation!
