USEcon has 100% investment funding imported
and a massive foreign funding requirement for debts
and a bubble foundation built on real estate
this is a disaster in the making
it will come apart gradually in the next 2-3 quarters

so many intelligent people do not see it
a national tragedy
eventually the world will not be able to keep us going
they will try but fail, and our downhill momentum will rise
our external funding requirements are too great, and still growing

right now 2 critical questions:
1. to slow monetary expansion and allow a recession
OR to continue that expansion and witness Asian import inflation as their currency exchange rates rise

which is closely tied in with
2. to continue to patch over FannyMae mortgage fund cracks
OR to allow those cracks to destroy the real estate pillars

while the risk of bond speculation reversal damage and derivative risks grow

I think the Fed will continue to monetary expansion, continue to inflate the bubble economy, stress publicly the threat of production price deflation,...

AND HOPE THAT THE DOLLAR DOESNT KICK IN ASIAN IMPORT INFLATION, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY HIGHER INTEREST RATES WHICH WRECK THE REAL ESTATE/MORTGAGE BUBBLES


the hope is misplaced
the dollar will break down
which will bring higher import prices
and also bring higher energy prices
and also bring higher mortgage rates
the weak links are imports, bond reversal, and mortgage rates

the current status is that USGovt officials are now urging China to do something about their low yuan peg
but in doing so, they want the trade gap to narrow by means of raising all import prices on Chinese goods
is this insanity?
yes, clearly
I CALL THE USDOLLAR THREAT --
THE BACKDOOR INFLATION MONSTER

our govt officials are busy inflating, without much concern just yet on backdoor price inflation from imports
we have major major threats underway
while the public urges on the INFLATION INITIATIVE
which will destroy slowly the USEconomy
much higher longterm interest rates are coming
