Monetization of Japan's Public Debt Hi Hawkmoon, You say: But a monetization of the Japan's debt will require a devaluation of their currency, and thus the value of Japanese savings. What is the mechanism that you see for this monetization? Classic seiniorage or some new variant on devaluing the Yen? TIA, Ray

Thanks for the facts there, Hawk. I'll have to check out Harry Dent's thoughts on it. I wondered where my mentor got that from. The immigration difference between US and Japan is definitely worth noting. Another difference- Japan is also resource poor. They have to import darn near everything consumable. We are in much better shape resource wise. The only big item we really HAVE to import is oil. And that's a whole different discussion. <g> Regards, TW
