they seem to have no concept that hollowing out equity by expanding debt is what precedes a deflationary period.

Roaches response: (i'm sure he thinks its too late) Meanwhile, I think the Fed finally gets it. The "it" in this case is deflation. A remarkable speech by Fed Governor Ben Bernanke says it all (see his November 21 address "Deflation: Making Sure ‘It’ Doesn’t Happen Here" posted on the Fed’s Web site). This speech, on the heels of the larger-than-expected 50 bp monetary easing of November 6, leaves little doubt in my mind that the Fed has gone into a full-blown anti-deflation drill. >>>>> So, does this make shorting more dangerous? don't fight the fed & load up mortgages?
