Pumpkin Stuff Shortage
The Nestle company manufacturers most of the canned pumpkin product sold in America. It markets these products under the brand name Libby.
Nestle's Libby announced that there may not be an adequate supply of canned pumpkin product for the 2009 holiday season. Libby stated that its production of canned pumpkin products may be sold out before the end of the holiday season.
This is one of the first shortages in food products to hit the United States since World War II. It will not be an anomaly.
Americans should expect more shortages because manufacturers are conserving resources -- that is, cutting back on production.
Americans should expect additional shortages in many product lines and in various other manufactured and processed goods.
Manufacturers will continue to scale back production, consumers will continue to buy less, and the downward economic spiral will proceed.
This sort of downward spiral in production is a result of increased taxation on businesses during today's recessionary that forces businesses to reduce labor costs which results in people losing jobs which results in people having lowered or no income which results in consumers' growing inability to buy products and services which results in businesses laying off additional workers who produce products and services that consumers are not buying.
Amidst the coming shortages, people will long for the gasoline lines of 1973.
Where Have The Men Gone?

Those men worthy of managing businesses find creative ways to maneuver their company out of financial and operating difficulties. Even owners of service businesses can successfully maneuver, avoid bankruptcy, and grow their company into prosperity.

Men starting with William C. Durant, GM's founder, overcame bigger problems than those facing GM today.

Relaxing Toward Deflation
Economic indicators go up and down. The only certainty is that they will fluctuate. Fears of inflation returning in its 1970 through 1982 mode should abate.  Read the story.
