I do not see a deflationary trend here. i see commodities low i see products avaible now that at much more resonable prices .I see a savings rate that has not gone up. I see a full job market low unemployment possibely due to increased costs in basics and the sturucture which is now too top heavy filtering to low and lower. The necessities are not being reduced with the exclusion of the commodity market. The periphials I view as what Japan exports. One can take statitics and apply them on broad base and they work out to non inflation but one must go and see what happening within in the economy . There is always lower tier but the hidden here is the upper tier covering with statistics what is going on below. Upper income TV in every room. I do not see a system that is pushing education but is stating we will be the fiancial and tech center of the world. But on the downside, that means even more US jobs going overseas as the US work force is required to compete even more aggressively with foreign labor. And that will lead to calls for tariffs and protectionist legislation from US voters. Our labor costs cannot at this time compete with China and portions of Asia. That would be a killer on us. Watch our bonds. please excuse typing.
