I don’t necessarily take into consideration what this means for the economy, I am just pleased I can spend under $60 to fill my tank, and then spend that extra money on other goods and services.

Like Kerri, I work for minimum wage, so I don't worry about my pay going down (it actually increases as new laws pass).

Because of this, whenever prices on things like gas went down I was happy and didn't think about the consequences for the greater economy.

The concept of deflation was first introduced to me in my AP US History class via studying the monumental ruling of Wickard v. Filburn. If my memory serves me, the case was about the government's ability to regulate commerce and in the late 1930s, there was a significant deflation in the price of wheat because a.)

My retirement accounts’ values were falling even though I maintain a fairly conservative portfolio. However, because of the slow economy, businesses were dropping prices as their bottom line began to dwindle. This impacted several of my investments. To “stop the bleeding” I closed these accounts and reinvested them into home Bonnie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04209199415629312727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803761046040217314.post-70161224265472125192015-05-28T07:28:33.832-07:002015-05-28T07:28:33.832-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.andy richardnoreply@blogger.com
