So how do we resolve the huge discrepancy when factor in currency? Folks from Canada or Europe can trade in their outdated shack for a nice modern home here in the states now, stash the rest in a bank and live off the interest on the difference.

Folks here talk too much about expensive McMansions in bubble markets..that isn't the norm but only a slice of Americana. No doubt many who perceive themselves as upper middle class take a major step down unless their earnings go up in a major way..

P&G and Kraft hike coffee prices - News report.

I do hope that an unnamed deflationist blogger has been buying coffee whenever it went on sale and has been storing all that coffee in a freezer! ;-)

But I wonder why a deflationist would do that?! Nah! A real deflationist would wait for the prices to fall, right?! LOL
