Wouldn't deflation be a positive to most consumers
No, because unemployment increases in a deflationary spiral. Full time jobs are reduced to part time jobs. Banks slow lending because collateral values decline. Auto sales slow as buyers wait for prices to fall. Assets usually held for wealth generation purposes (commercial real estate, precious metals, stocks) decline in value.

If prices are declining, wouldn't that spur spending on cars? If prices are low, most businesses should see an increase in business, which should offset the need to layoff workers. Stocks would decline in value, but in real dollars they would remain roughly the same as the differences in price are purely due to changing from inflation to deflation (their value remains the same relative to the market, only their price changes).
