Heinz, the problem is that if the hikes continue and the market truly tanks, it would take out the better part of $300 billion in deficit spending on overseas products. That's good for the U.S., but it could stop the slow Asian recovery dead in its tracks, and pull the plug on Japan. The Japanese liquidity would dry up pretty quick, which would get us back to the 98 deflation problem. OTOH, if rates come down, we're back to the bubble. There's a lot of chickens coming home to the Fed's roost.
