    Inflation helps deal with this problem better than deflation does.

    I love it.

    My idea was that other people, outside of the United States, would become consumers after our economy bottomed out. I'm just saying that we are burning out, about to expire 2 laps ahead of everybody else. It's only a matter of time before we are in a real race, we might as well relax and wait for the horde.

    But seriously, It's plain to see that our only idea of how to get out of this is for prices to go up across the board and for people to become dumb consumers again. Everybody knows how cheap things can be purchased for now. Pandora's box has opened and we aren't done digging through the top layer for goodies, plus we have less and less money. Deflation lies ahead of us and we'd better figure out a way to cope with it instead of wishing for the economy that we don't have.

    Or we could work harder for more money, which seems to be the idea of some.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
