I think I misspoke when I said 'inflation' with falling demand... I should have said: 'rising prices with falling demand'. I don't even know what to call it...

"Rising prices" = Inflation

The combination of inflation & falling demand is called "stagflation" - arguably the worst state for an economy to be in...

Again, I would be interested to hear your ideas as to why that seems a real danger for the US at this point.

DAK, some of the import product price inflation caused by the decline in the US$ may be offset by the reduction of demand. There is no other nation willing/able to consume to excess like the US. Remember cheap oil after the Asian tiger bust? In the 30s some said the US was unwilling to buy the global surplus goods ( buyer of last resort)- can't say that this time! Mike
