So what you're saying is we're in a period of massive deflation.

Why stop at the 90s, lets look at the early 19th century. The early Model T was $20k inflation adjusted. A modern car would have been millions.

For some goods like cars and electronics, yes. For other goods and services (e.g. education, healthcare, childcare), no.
