Jill,

I never said that they were not. However, they are but two levers in a very complicated machine. Depending on them to steer the ship in the face of overwhelming inertia is a losing bet. There are many other factors at play other than the amount of money printed by and the rates set by the United States of America. The most important factor here is that the bubble should never have been allowed to grow to such unprecedented proportions. History told us time and time again that we should never allow it, but we refuse to learn.

We can waste much time doing a post-mortem and assigning blame, but I think it is more important to fix our gaze on the future and ask two questions about the bursting of this bubble:

1) How will this affect me, my family, my friends, my community, my country, and so on.

2) How can I protect my assets and even make them grow during these challenging times.

If you do not believe that we had/have a bubble and the mania that goes with it, then yes, we have little to discuss.

Cheers. Allan.
