The inflation/deflation debate continues... All the prophets qualify their predictions with "might" "may" "if" "could". What kind of a prediction is that? Which bookies are taking bets on "Might win, if..." LOL? Here's the contradiction: they say monetary policy has created a disaster. They also say monetary policy won't make any difference. So which is it? Does monetary policy matter or not? Will it make a difference? If it matters now, it matters later. They can't have it both ways! I love reading these guys; they're suckin' and blowin' at the same time. Nobody knows for sure. People who are sure don't say "might", "may", "could" and "maybe". --- From Volcker: another deflationary indicator. ‘Great Recession’ Will Redefine Full Employment as Jobs Vanish bloomberg.com Jim

In the first paragraph: According to Spain’s national statistics institute, the rate of unemployment in Spain rose 3.45% to 17.4% in the first quarter of 2009! The number of unemployed increased by 1.8 million to 4.01 million people, the highest in 10 years. Wouldn't a jump from 2.21 Million people to 4.01 Million people be a rise of 81.4%? If 1.8 Million more people are on the dole, how can unemployment have risen only 3.45%? Maybe its just the late hour....
