<<What folks>> I am guessing Japanese folks and Asia ex-Japan folks who know better vs. Japanese folks who still believe they have to lend. I am told that Asia (more) and Europe (less) are the net net savings regions of the world where lending capital is builtup via traditional and true savings as opposed to the US where lending money is either printed hot off the press, or put up by the true savers, most of whom live elsewhere. If so, and when the lenders believe they have had enough of a beating, and are of the opinion that more pain is prepared for them should they continue lending, then the true spigot will be pinched off even as Professor BurnAndKaput's printing press continues to go piping hot. I think this is how it should go if events continue on their present path.
