Even mathematically inclined people get brainbusted when someone says the I-word, but I have to try: if you are able to buy some commodity for $1 in 2005, and you are able to buy the same commodity for $1 in 2008, then the real price has declined by about eight to ten percent, give or take.

If you're expecting the price to drop by 75%, 10% is negligible.
