> Why buy a truck for 1oz of gold today when I could buy two for the same amount next year?

Because someone needs a truck now. Deflation makes people more fiscally responsible, not less.

Right, but in economies, that's a bad thing. (less spending, less demand, fewer jobs, repeat, downward spiral, economic collapse).

You are both saying the same thing. You only buy a truck today if you absolutely need it.
