The population growth and tons of land for development will keep us from ever turning into Japan, something which you seem to always fail to address.

On the contrary I have addressed it. I am tired of addressing it but the simple fact is that Japan went in to deflation with a scaricy of land. The big theory was "land is scarce so prices can't drop". Obviously they can and they did.

Now you are telling me that having plenty of land is a reason that land prices can't drop? Sounds absurd to me.

Now that I am typing I am actually getting irritated but I will try and contain it. I have compared the plusses and minuses of the US vs Japan so many times I have sore thumbs.

Let me just say that your claim that I "always fail to address it" is blatantly and patently false.

The reason for no deflation in the 90's should be obvious but if not I will spell it out for you: an upcoming internet boom that fueled worldwide growth.
