It's not hard to understand that America is reaching full employment while most of the world, apart from northern Europe, remains in a deflationary depression.

Hopefully the only inflation we'll be seeing in America any time soon is from rising wages.

A small amount of wage inflation will be off set by asset deflation as Stocks and real estate in the US fall by 1-2% a year for 10 years or more (unless things get out of control and the fall is front end loaded) 3-4 % 30 year rates are high in even a 1-2% a year asset deflation scenario

Low inflation—and low prices—sound beneficial but can stall growth in wages and profits.

...and it seems intuitive the reverse is also true

low wages in particular would keep downward pressure on prices and inflation

regardless of GOP hero Trumps contention that we need to lower wages, the repubican ideal of workers making barely enough to get by is the reality in this country
