David, ANY credit expansion mis-aligns the actual physical structure of production as investments are made which have no real economic underpinnings - only the availability of easy credit. ALL credit expansions bring with them mal-investments, as artificially low interest rates skew economic calculation. Any attempt to ameliorate the situation by throwing even more credit at it only delays the now inescapable correction of the mis-aligned physical structure of production. Further, it perpetuates the mal-investments, as corporations throw even more money at areas of production where there would be minimal demand if not for the artificial stimulation of low rates.

Pressed to the very limits, a prolonged credit expansion destroys the real physical economy with a wave of cumulative mal-investments. After that comes the collapse of the currency and then of the system.

What will you do when that day comes?
