Neither. The consumer has 30% more spending money in his pocket.

Let me see ... more money to spend ... demand increases ... supply remains constant ... prices therefore .... DROP????

In your dreams.

The cost to the retail outlet to purchase products will without question drop. If the cost of production at all stages from raw material to putting it in the box to ship to retail is reduced, then competitive forces in the market demand that the retail price goes down.

I am not saying final out the door price (after NRST0 goes down, but the retail sticker price goes down.

"... supply remains constant..."

Why would you make such a ridiculous assumption? If the demand goes up now, producers strive to increase supply to meet that demand. Why would that change?

Why do you want to see the current system continue? What is your stake in it? Is your narrow self interest so overwhelming that you'd stand in the way of such a positive change for good, for liberty, for prosperity?

What makes you tick?
