I can’t wait for the “boooya boy” to push more of his crap, while the other one will jump right on how his seeds are growin again. All the while low level savers are gettin racked as usual, and with most “consumer ” items going up, which most of are not even counted in the CPI, along with higher utilities and medical costs, are forced to dig into what savings are left to pay these so called “deflation” prices, until its gone and THAN all sudden its time to raise the Interest rates.

I guess those new Iphones and G4′s are a deal at 500 bucks a pop.

I see NO damned “deflation” everything I buy, or pay for is UP, I don’t buy 10 tons of iron ore to dump in my back yard, I buy things I need to live. which the CPI seems to thing don’t need to be counted.

with no COLA and higher co-pays, higher deductibles, and higher fees on licenses its only the rates on savings that help when the rates are at least 4%, this 1% or less is ridicules.

I could be horribly wrong, but there are so many people shorting long us bonds right now that I don’t want to be apart of it. I aggree with all fo his points and do feel a double dip is in th cards, but the higher rates I would disagree with.

“However, Governments cannot print an acceleration of velocity. That is essential to recovery, and indeed it is an essential part of the reflation which almost everyone now recommends. Yet an addition to the money supply in quantitative terms does not automatically result in an acceleration of its velocity”

See Fisher Theory:Erving Fisher excerpt

From Steve Keen:
“Ultimately, the debate over whether we’re in a complete recovery or merely a temporary recess from the GFC will only be resolved by time. But well-informed theory can also give a guide as to what we can expect, and here I regard Hyman Minsky’s Financial Instability Hypothesis and Irving Fisher’s Debt Deflation Theory of Great Depressions as the outstanding guides”
