isuppose if you look at the nation as one that survives on protectionism than you could apply his theory due to isolation from the world dollars.

Kind of makes me laugh. One of the reasons that the US dollar was so strong is it bought far more in other nations. I think of other dollars which take far more dollars to buy the same thing. What becomes of an highly developed nation when milk quadruples in price?

If the value of other dollars remains as is then you are going to be paying far more for exports . If all other follow suit due to cost of labor elsewhere the it seems that the opportunity for growth would go elsewhere. It seems, means I need your help trying to figure out the long range affect of this.

The median home price rose to $169,800 in January from $158,600 a month earlier, the department said.

Anyone want to explain away this?

Here's a wasting asset, an out-of-pocket loss, appreciating. It creates no future value, so why should it appreciate? Besides, isn't it good for homeowners? And isn't it only appreciating at 6% per month which is perfectly fair, and just, and right?

There is no inflation. There is no inflation. After all, shoes don't cost more, or do they?
