W L D ; We go through cycles of ( inflation ) right now they say there is NONE or it's very low like .2%..and that justifies the low interest rates..( if you buy Gov bonds from here out get the inflation indexed ones as this NO inflation can't last ) Lock in any fixed low rate loans you can get in the next 6 months. Stay away from adjustable rates ( on borrowed money ) ------- The only way I can see taht this will resolve itself is the high horsepower maggots will force Spam to open the presses up full blast and inflate, inflate ( pay off the liabilities with dollars worth less ) ------------ Dollar has been falling since last march. It just hasn't effected the CPI yet. the CPI lags..and the FED uses a fudge factor to keep it lower than it really is. ----------- You may not remember the Jimmy Carter inflation, ( he caught the heat but it was in the pot before he even ran for President ) IKE had one too in the 50s , and even used ceiling prices try to curb it, ya a Republican every one loved.. mandated price controls..( something Republicans say they never do ) I was 15 at the time and remember it well. When Liabilities get this big, you have to use cheaper dollars to pay them off . Don't panic it's not going to happen over night Even when it does we lived through it before. Jim . .
