not at all...recall, i mentioned before that Japan is approximately out of sync by ten years since the beginning of the last century already. besides, it's not MY theory...i just happen to believe the Longwaves theory is correct. agreed that the budget surplus is due to intergovernmental transfers from social security, but it doesn't really matter for practical purposes whether they're taking from the SS surplus to make their numbers - surplus is surplus. you are wrong about corporate cash. note that for every asset in a money market fund a corresponding liability exists at either a corporation or the government (or at who knows who...since asset backeds contain all sorts of debt, much of it sub prime). what the explosion in money market assets really signifies is the growing debt load of corporate America. the one yardstick that counts in this regard is the debt to equity ratio, and that's at an all time high.
