the US Economy continues to bleed jobs and capital to Asia
instead of massive widespread collapses and failures, we have a socialist effect whereby the nation's wealth is downgraded and written down, by means of lesser value relative to foreign economies

so far PHASE #1 has been an adjustment versus Europe
this phase is well underway, and almost complete
the next PHASE #2 will involve Asia
all hell will break loose when the JYen rises
this is inevitable
the JYen is the only widely traded FOREX Asian currency, so it will be the vehicle of adjustment for the USDollar

many thought in the mid-1990's that the Fed Chairman was a genius, in providing liquidity (credit funny money) to provide economic insurance against worldwide accidents
but we got the 1997 Asian Meltdown, and the 2000 US Stock Bust
next we get the great US TBond and Real Estate slow grind bust
IT WILL BE PRECIPITATED BY THE INEVITABLE ASIAN IMPORTED PRICE INFLATION

when Japanese Yen breaks out, and starts the process
Asians will cut back in TBonds and GSE debt
that will result in rising interest rates
if the Fed wants to intervene and prevent it, then the USDollar adjustment will be even more painful and longer
which will result in even bigger Asian imported inflation

the JYen rise cannot be stopped, not by the US Fed, not by the BoJ
as long as the US treats oversupply with more stimulus to encourage consumption, we will have the trade gap with us in a huge way
and Japan will increasing difficulty in warding off the tide of capital flow

THE FED INTERVENTION GAMES WILL STOP WHEN ASIAN CURRENCIES ADJUST UPWARD
THEY WILL ATTEMPT IN FUTILITY TO PREVENT LONGTERM RATES FROM RISING
