Game should stay at $50. Mario is still Mario and Zelda is still Zelda regardless if it on the GC, Wii, or WiiU, why should I have to pay a more for the same damn thing?
Less money in terms of real dollars. In nominal figures it's a bit more, or at least the same.
That's why the government is focusing on the wrong thing when fighting poverty. Instead of increasing wages they should be fighting inflation instead so that whatever money people do have is worth more so their spending power is greater. Inflation is caused by the government spending money it doesn't have and printing money to compensate which causes it to devalue. Inflationary spending should be viewed as a tax, but its the worst kind of tax because it hits the poorest people the hardest and another thing about it is its kinda hidden so there's not much attention on it.
I wouldn't say inflation is directly and/or solely caused by governmental spending. Even if there are dramatic increases or decreases in governmental spending, it doesn't imply with certainty that there will be a similar change in the value of currency (immediately or in the long run). Japan's Yen is has managed to become stronger while they national debt has risen to 180% of their GDP (some of the highest levels in the world).
Deflation isn't necessarily better than inflation anyway. Sure the rich and upper middle get richer, but the lower class that has more debt than money gets screwed in the process. Their debt burdens become that much difficult to pay off due to no fault of their own, and since the current global financial meltdown is due to people that are unable to pay off their debt, making it harder would just cause an new crisis. And the national debt will become that much worst without even increasing numerically...
