As an individual i live as Japanese i don't believe in high debt on a personal level. The difficulty we face as people here is debt is not limited to growth prospects but it is dead debt to frequently. We use our plastic for a play dinner and fun and whoosh it is gone the night was remarkable but when the balance has interest which adds up the night haunts as the year wears on.
Debt has it's use but privately speaking you buy a car or lease it is dead money though it has a use.
Debt is good when it creates value but the inflationary rate in Japan became so vast the value was limited. I am sure as we Japans business world was looking for value in investment.
We are not Japan if we find we continue on a course to prevent a slow down and though JIT keeps a lid on production we face a potential of decrease in cost and yet have to deal with rapid development in a new product line.
One would assume in the last six years that we could of merged created and assembled incredible corporations if only on the base of paper transactions, but we did not we created incredible debt and now a slow down which would reduce surplus in a normal situation but we are intent on maintaining that which natural selection would slow down.

The difficulty we face and Japans faces is the cost of production in comparison to other parts of the world. This problem becomes a national problem due to how we are for profit structured and how we have to reduce costs to create profit. We are reducing labor it is that simple.

Most likely we will refine what is left of dotcom. The technology will come to the point it is not the cart but the horse that pulls the cart. Lots of nothing was created here and lots of production will be created elsewhere. In a rapid growth era you get it to market fast but others benefit in cost due to delay in implementation and increase in knowledge.

This post is too long it is coming close to being a book. Deflation is created by where by in comparison to other dollars your has limit in growth because it has outpriced it's own value.
The Fed and business are at odds where to me corporate American is not seeing value of it's dollar and a increased capacity for debt, but a decreasing value of the debt that is incurred. This engineered economy is trying to stop a pullback where intelligent business is seeing the figures and pulling back on it own. Due to Jit about the only surplus you are going to end up with is dollars and high potential due to the other units labor value of growth else where.
