    I do too.

    We publish our production numbers daily. I walked in this morning and couldn't believe what I saw, especially in light of the summer months being slow. We are having an outstanding June. We're making piles of money, hiring people, bringing in consultants for training, and having parties.

    I just talked to one of my customers who makes parts for electrical meters - business is good.

    I don't know what to make of it. Implicitly, there is some sensationalism in news. I trust what I see.

    Well if you read the following you might begin to think that maybe Krugman knows what he is talking about. According to this article on Ireland they have tried (2 years ago) what Europe is now talking about doing and it has backfired on them.

    Inflation has worked for a long time. It is like it has become the system. The plain truth is that no one's money is worth a damn thing.
