A simple answer - it will be very inflationary. There is no
way Bernanke can or will drain. The most probable scenario
is bankruptcy of the country, IMHO. A la Argentina. Rates
will keep rising until there is a default or the Fed will
keep the government from defaulting by printing and then
we'll have the kind of inflation this country has never seen in
the past.

By the way, it's not in the future any more. It is here. The
country is bankrupt, which is why Ben has no choice but
print, and then he talks it down, cause he knows if he
does not, a serious currency crisis will commence.

They will play the confidence card until all confidence is lost.

I am inclined to believe that there will be serious inflation
as opposed to default, and that all the government debt that
can no longer be serviced will be monetized, but that view
may have to be revised as we go along -g-

The fallout from rising T-rates will damage the economy,
so Argentina-type situation will come first anyhow.
