You don't need rising wages to have inflation. Cheap labor has subsidized our consumption along with cheap credit and cheap oil. These things are history -- we are now witnessing the end of cheap oil, cheap money and even cheap labor. Americans have an appointment with destiny -- it is called growing poverty and it will be accompanied by a weak dollar and rising inflation in a slowing economy. We will have more inflation as our economy slows -- not less. We will have more inflation as unemployment soars -- not less. We will see things that we want priced out of reach even as our incomes decline. We are confronted with a future in which our economy stagnates and we are made poor by a sinking dollar and ever rising inflation. Mish and others like him have it dead wrong when they say that we are facing future deflation. The odds of deflation are extremely low indeed -- the odds of inflation are extremely high. The impact will be felt most by Americans who do not have globally competitive skill sets -- the less educated among us. But as a country our fate is clear - a lower dollar and rising prices.
