Sorry Doc
Inflation is when prices of goods and service cost a lot and it take lots of money to buy stuff. Like the Hyper-inflation that Zimbabwe is experiencing.

Mugabe has tried to print his way to prosperity. You know, just like what we are doing with this ill advised stimulus package. This fact along with a new round of exotic A.R.M. resets coming in a few years will make the dollar absolutely worthless.

Deflation is a fleeting thing that only happens at the beginning of economic swings.
We are seeing a taste of deflation now because of the coming Dark Days.

After inventories are bought down and low economy of scale and no capital or credit set in. Goods are going to sky rocket.
A depression is when there is no cash or credit in the market and production halts.
People have no money and what there is to buy comes dear.

We are in for not a Great Depression, but one of Biblical Proportions Dark Ages Ver 2.0.

Food production and the protection of that food will be the coin of the realm.

nothing else will matter. Not health care or global warming. Those ideas will seem pretty inane compared to having a cold bowl of rice.

Rob,
Between pessimism and optimism is a thing called realism.

This particular item isn't really open to site selection. The intention is to place it in Utah. Any alternative sites are being looked at just in case. If an agency is interested in an area, believe me your Congressional Reps, Governor and anyone with influence is aware. All these projects are in the Federal Register. Most are appropriations to do this or that and the actual item to look for is consultant service surrounding site selection.

But federal projects aren’t the only thing that has economic impact. Many private projects have huge economic impact. Unfortunately, every state is vying for these projects. Hawaii is in an unfortunate place in that there's really no advantage (regardless of the incentives) to relocate or bring a major project to the island.

My BIL's firm specializes in getting development deals and he's been honest that Hawaii is dead last. Even Alaska rates higher because of the coastal waterways and connection to the mainland. He said that Hawaii will never rank up there because of distance and lack of any direct connection to other states via roads or rails. He did say that Hawaii could get big projects simply by accepting what most states refuse.

Hmmm
from what I have heard Hawaii could have a new observatory, but some people are saying no... which seen to be the norm...

Here is a site where you can view, vote on and give your own opinion re: the projects sent in for stimulus package funds. Very interesting, as well as a good way to see exactly what's been proposed on our behalf. Oops, I just discovered I left off the most important part of this message: the link.

Everyone can track the stimulus $$$$ for volcano monitoring and all the other proposed stimulus funded projects at this link: http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/by_state/HI (the space you see on your screen between by and state is a lower dash, not a hyphen)

Everyone should put their hands back in their pocket and do something new --GET A JOB -- forget about Uncle Sugar and the Pork machine bailing you out. Pretty soon the greenback will worthless than a Mexicon Peso. The barter system is in the near future for all of America.
