The crap will hit the fan sooner or later here. When Asian goods start climbing in price, you'll see inflation here start to climb--and steeply. Cheap Asian goods have been offseting higher service and energy costs here for a long time. You can't keep a lid on production costs over there forever, especially with environmental restrictions coming into play. And we are especially vulnerable with the weak dollar and a big budget deficit. We can't print money fast enough to pay for foreign oil and Asian imports.
