This is kind of political and kind of financial. Probably more financial since most of our country is not sophisticated enough to understand some of the problems with deflation, but does anyone see deflation as a problem to be concerned about right now? I am looking at basically every part of the world's economy except the US (maybe ours too after yesterdays GDP report) slowing down. The bottom has dropped out of almost every commodity market and every time they start to increase they crash back down with massive supply glut reports. Oil is the main one, but most of the metals, coal, natural gas, everything is around 10 year lows. I think China is going to double down on deflating their currency to try to solve their problems which will make their good cheaper here. Population growth in the world is slowing. I guess I see a lot of arrows pointing toward deflation on our horizon. Japan has been dealing with it for a while now and it is basically soul crushing if you have debt or are working in an industry that sells goods. Anyway just wondering if anyone else sees this as a problem or has a solution to the problem?
