I ran across this interesting little tidbit, while browsing the NPR link.

"August 10, 2010

Interesting, since in 2009 everyone seemed to be predicting hyper inflation for 2010, due to government spending, although I have read some articles comparing our meltdown to the one Japan has been undergoing for the past 10-15 years.
