Things getting cheaper is good not bad. Don't believe the swindling liars who make umpty$billion per year by diluting fiat money. Things have been getting cheaper for decades since Made in China became a big deal and the technological revolution continued apace, with huge economies of scale making almost anything in Cyberspace nearly free, and anything made of 3D materials a lot cheaper. <Not enough spending causes deflation, which is where we're at now. > I am spending enough thanks and so are most people. If they wanted to spend more, they would do so. I don't need a fiat currency destroyer to destroy my money holdings and force me to buy something, anything, to avoid them robbing me via dilution. That would give a temporary boost to economic activity, but a long term misallocation of capital and waste of resources with economic failure the result. Mqurice

You said "Which is why an economist might say something is true, ceteris paribus, meaning holding all other things constant" constants are rare in a universe governed by changes of state. Circular references are derived from the persistence of any state, to deny, that there could be some other construct which by coming into being...might show how inadequate the reasoning was to begin with. absurdities abound/extrapolate from such thinking.
