On one of the talk shows concerning our economy, one of the commentators made a point that I thought was startling. He said that we are in a risk of deflation even though the economy is growing fast because of India and China. Those two countries are providing lower-cost manufacturing and lower-cost services such as programming services to the United States (and the world) that are keeping US costs down across the board, so much so that they are causing strong deflationary effects in the economy as a whole.
In other words, we can expect strong economic growth with prices staying stable or even slightly declining for the foreseeable future. Interest rates should remain low and stable as well. These conditions are just amazing and unprecedented.
