Hence rate will go high to defend the dollar from commodity inflation.

Bernanke won't do that til after the election eh? He has some favors to repay no? AG didn't want bernanke did he? Defend the dollar - I hear everyone saying time for dollar to fall so american workers can be competitive again - you don't agree? What is more important to american and chinese politicos? Strong dollar or happy employed voters?

Ofcourse, interest rates fall in both countries after some years. But it was late by then...

Bernanke said the problem back then was they didn't loosen fast enough eh? That he won't make that mistake.

I do agree that if all past credits are liquidated, Fed rate can fall to 0%. But, such a credit deflation means SS, Medicare defaults as well...

Well kotikoff and others have been saying we got to nip this entitlement problem in the bud eh? hehe

Did you leverage your house yet and short XLF like you promised?
