Inflation is the language rest of the world is using to tell us to produce more, consume less and save more.

Americans are over-consumers. They shove their obese butts in a SUV, drive down to Frys to buy a high-def TV & PS3 (on credit), stopping at Wendy’s for a biggie-size fries and shake on the way home.

Can’t say I’ll shed a tear to see that era come to end.

(but I’ll give up my Wii when you pry it from my cold, dead hands)
