L uc T, i'm very busy, but thought i'd respond to some information you'd posted earlier regarding the economy, and info contained in the economist. the economist, by the way has been predicting on and off a collapse since 1990. their most recent article, and your presumption, that the m1 and m2 money supply is growing at an unprecedented rate is more likely due to a flood of asian investors out of local currencies and into US dollars rather than any action on part of the feds. you also mentioned the increase in consumer debt. the growth of debt has actually been slowing since 1995 from 14.2% in 1995 to 4.7% growth last year. and new evidence shows that productivity gains in the US economy is actually much greater than originally thouht. the bureau of labor stats made an error in calculating productivity, since their correction, gains are being revised upward. inflation the first four months of this year is five times less than the first four months of last year. you also mentioned the japanese selling US bonds. but you forget to mention that the Chinese have compensated for those sales by buying major chunks of US bonds. there's also the US govt. surplus which must be considered. all positives.
