Player # 2 makes an excellent point about the immense debt in USD, and the effects it will have.

There is a possibility (maybe 10-15% ?) that there will not be enough printing in the next few years to devalue the dollar significantly. So we could have a Japan-like weak deflation for a number of years.

Number of years may be a number n, ranging from 0 to ?
n may be as large as...10 (lost decade)

Note that Japan tried a number of moves and could not easily get out of deflation.

Note that this would also mess up a large number of people.

**********

Should swine flu or some military activity occur which impacts trade, the world would be pushed into a flight to safety and deflation.
