The numbers confirm that the economy is a supply-side, top-down one, and will roll over when the profits at the bottom end collapse. Commodity prices are too low. Many goods and services are priced at the break-even point in a bid for market share. The quality of service in general is going down. People have forgone pay rises because they thought easy credit and stock market gains were the same thing. All the hype about the internet and productivity increases has been prozac against any fears, but in the absense of any more good news, doubts begin to surface. Less spending and more saving are the logical next step for a normal person, the hidden hand that will strangle the bull.

The methodology for the reports are different. They've changed the inflation estimations in the US since 1994 when everyone was claiming that they overstated inflation. They wanted a politically safe way to cut Social Security benefits.
