| Subject: US taxation Taxation in the United States is a complex system which may involve payment to at least four different levels of government and many methods of taxation. United States taxation includes local government, possibly including one or more of municipal, township, district and county governments. It also includes regional entities such as school and utility, and transit districts as well as including state and federal government. (Wikipedia Feb 2010) Deflation Economics By John Schroy, on April 10th, 2010 |  Leave a comment  Deflation is said to occur when general price levels fall. The last important example of general deflation in the United States occurred during the Great Depression. Federal Reserve officials and central bankers around the world often regard deflation as a greater risk than inflation. Under the Obama administration, US central bankers are now wary of both deflation and inflation.

The question that I would like to address is simply this: To what degree have US corporations been able to improve their financial liquidity since the Crash of 2008? Whereas behavior of US households indicates a shift to more conservative financial positions — with far higher levels of saving than prior to 2008 — corporations do not seem to have taken a similar course.

Inflation is likely be the final and deadliest blow to the retirement dreams of many Baby Boomers. When the stock market crashes, one can hope for a recovery some day. With inflation, the losses are permanent and final.
