The next yahoo that says that Japan was in deflation during the 1990s needs to take a look at the historical value of the yen. The yen hit its peak in the EARLY 1990s.

Deflation is the antidote to anti-American, pro-communist business practices and moral bankruptcy. Bring it on.

Economic freedom and economic recovery both require that prices and wage rates be free to fall and that all legal obstacles in the way of their falling be immediately removed.

prices are falling as demand wanes and supply outpaces current demand by producing at the old levels. supply will pile up, pushing prices lower... until businesses cannot take it any longer and start to falter.

a few businesses will go out.. and eventually the supply will be depleted, but with the number of businesses reduced, the remaining businesses will start to jack up prices to cover costs, recoup losses during this time, and then take advantage of their dominant roll.

just ask china how that all plays out... they are finding out now

Most of my pay is commission and has been since I started my current gig more than seven years ago. I took an incredible beating at the start with the promise of good things in the future. There hasn't yet been a quarter such that I have made less money than the previous quarter. These days I'm doing better than not bad.

I don't deal in physical "things." I fully expect my income to continue rising for the forseeable future. I find the idea of falling prices to be glorious.
