Yep. The recession that started post 2000 never really ended, in real terms. Sometimes it wears an inflationary face, sometimes a deflationary face. On a decade's basis, it's inflationary. Deflation from burst bubbles triggers reflationary policy, which leads to inflation. That in turn crushes real incomes further, thus triggering demand collapses, and more deflation. I still can't believe so many feel compelled to choose, "between inflation and deflation." Choosers are losers. :-) I frankly can't find any actual human history that comports with such clean, theoretical contours.

I have a bad feeling about what's coming. Feels like the calm before the next storm. I doubt very much the next storm looks like 2H 2008. That would be too easy. CA got downgraded again after the bell. Second time in two weeks. They've never been junk, but are close.
