FOX Business — There’s a new concern to add to Wall Street’s growing list of worries about the economic recovery: that the U.S. could slip into a scary deflationary spiral, a development that would inflict serious pain on the economy. Deflation is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services.

Deflation is scary because it makes a long farting noise.  It is also scary because it really hasn’t happened to the U.S. economy since the 1920s during the Great Depression, raising concerns about whether policymakers would know how to fix it.  However this is not a concern for me; because I’m not a policymaker, I’m a fixer.

Without the burden of sales taxes, the price of a “nickel bag” of pot has defied inflation and held at $5 ever since that hippie fuck you call a father was a teenager.  This economic blunder is deflationary kryptonite.  If you are sitting on a “nickle bag” of weed today; you could bet Shang Tsung your soul that it will be worth $5 tomorrow.  Why is this the case?  Because pot heads don’t want to deal with inflation/deflation/disinflation/probation/segregation or any other type of interpretation.  They just want to pinch some weed, put it in a bag, and collect a $5 bill.

Editor’s Note:  I don’t smoke weed, it just looks like I do because I eat a lot of cookies.
