Like I said, why are you picking fights? >>clothes and gadgets You think this is new and revolutionary? No wonder you don't tell us your age. When I was growing up in the 50's all the "clothes and gadgets" I touched said "Made in Japan". Later everything I drove (and still drive) is "made in Japan". Later (briefly) everything I bought was made in Mexico, Brazil or Taiwan. Now everything I pick up is made in China. Seems like Japan, Mexico, Brazil and Taiwan need to worry more than I should.

GST: The FED fear is service deflation starts as well as manufacturing deflation. I look @ United as one blow but its not the 1st. All (most anyway) of those Andersen and Enron employees have had to take pay cuts. Ditto most in IT services. If it wasn't for insurance inflation in wages [health care & workers comp] wage cost increases would have been down 30% of the total increase (what the increase was 3% so only 2% flows to the worker, pre taxes).
