Snowshoe,

Re: Europe and Japan both have huge unfounded retirement obligations.

It's only in their dreams they wish they were "unfounded". <g>

Re: What does it mean for U.S. investors? Are we going to get inflation, deflation, disinflation, or stagflation?

Well, how long you planning on living?

Re: What do folks here think about investing in TIPS (inflation-indexed bonds)?

I've recommended them to friends who actually have a life.

Mostly the doomsters think of oxymoronic inflationary-deflation with depressionary serotonin reuptake pineal deficiencies. It's a bit like the ecodoomsters think of greenhouse gas oven cake-baking effects with ozone layer icing causing a new ice-age. Which means they have no idea what the hell is going on.
