ParticipantLong-term costs as in good-paying union jobs lost because we all decided to buy our groceries at Super Walmart and Target Greatland?
Our grocery costs are definitely down; now maybe that’s partly due to our aggressive couponing, but there’s also been stories of grocery stores slashing prices on some items by 20 percent to 30 percent.
What about gas? A month ago or so I heard a report on the radio (KNX or KFI) that big oil had too much fuel on its hands and was paying to store it rather than flood the market. Eventually the companies would stop storing it and gas might hit around $2 again. I’m waiting.

Dude, the whole western banking system is still insolvent. Defaults are going parabolic. Credit is still and will for the foreseable future keep contracting. The only way they can stave off a deflationary collapse is replacing private debt with government debt. How long do you think that can go on?[/quote]
So maybe that’s a good strategy — for now?

ParticipantPartypup,
I think you are giving the media too much credit for pulling strings as a unified forice. And I just imagine you having plenty of tin foil handy when you write lines like ” … (okay, let’s overlook for the moment that this country’s last real journalists have already died or are about to die), it’s just demonstrates a complete lack of integrity.”
