Perhaps the US will face "Argentina light" when the buck does its inevitable swan dive against the Asian currencies.

In the modern way of looking at things, when the price of something you own goes up, that's not "inflation" Really. I own a house but you don't own a house. If house prices go up, is it considered inflation of not, in this modern world of yours? Moreover, do you assume that once you have one of "something", you will never need to have another? I own a house, but MIGHT want to buy another. Does that make an increase in house prices "inflation" for me? And don't even get me started on stuff that everyone HAS but everyone will have to buy MORE.... I sure hope this resistance to accept "modern way of looking at things" doesn't mean I am getting old, LOL.
