Rarebird-I think I prefer Kurt Lewin's approach toward truth-although you know my favorite is the I ching..the observations of nature by wise men over three thousand years old.. I wasn't talking about negative earnings from internet businesses such as amazon etc..I was talking about the competition which is creating smaller and smaller margins but is allowing the consumer to be offered bargains after bargains.. books,software,appliances,etc besides being able to easily comparative shop for mortgages,online banking, cars,real estate etc..that to me is deflationary as companies are forced to undercut each other with leaps and bounds of transparency.. how many middle men are being cut out now(how many jobs will be lost how few jobs will be created to replace them? ..how much sales tax for instance is New York losing..you can buy a computer in New Jersey and save 80 dollars in tax.. also record industry, have you ever downloaded mpeg3? how many people will cancel their newspapers to read the latest breaking news? also merger mania still alive which also is cutting into more jobs yes-there will be scarity of teachers etc..but who can afford teacher's salary? how can they get good pay raises whereas the average american just thinks shortsighted and doesn't want to pay taxes..and hopes I guess the good fairy will come down and find good teachers for their children. ( sadly admit that ole 49er might be in that I always have to put something in like that) Commodity prices probably are less than a tenth of product costs if that much..maybe six percent.. year200 0 might be an excuse for correction..but how much has been spent already on the major fixes and how much pre 2000 buying by corporations have caused growth in tech sales and services The productivity part-I just think the average worker is probably so stressed out..that he/she should become less productive with the incredible hours a lot of people are putting in.. also how many people are needed now to support all this high tech.. re trade deficit..again I am not worried about that..just budget deficit.. once japan is really recovering..still in doubt..I am certain the government wouldn't mind having our products more competitive to a world that is recovering and who will finally start buying our products.. could that also be called monetarizing our trade deficit?- also as the east recovers, that could produce some more deflation --corporations' expenses will go up -since the dollar will go down.. and the wealth effect from the market will diminish...
