? If we get the bubble inflated again, debt problems will be meaningless. Really? So easy....

perhaps we haven't quite reached the end of the 'super cycle.' perhaps another big push 'up' would ensure the necessary 'super crash' which would signal the end/beginning of the grand supercycles; the 'last' and the 'next' ages, as it were. the mayan calendar ends in 2011 does it not? isn't qetzalcoatl supposed to return then or something? andy

if the bubble were to truly re-inflate (beyond a bear market rally that is) right from here, an incredible monster would be created. the debt mountain can not be meaningless...the debt must be paid, plus interest. and re-inflation of the bubble means further geometric growth in debt. considering it takes already $4,55 in NEW DEBT for every $1 in (overstated) GDP growth, this would set us up for what von Mises calls the 'complete destruction of the underlying currency system' (the manner in which an extended credit boom ends when the central bank doesn't stop it).
