z, I agree that we are heading into a deflationary spiral, but only after we get Weimar Republic style inflation.

Same thing every month. There must be something in those CPI/PPI releases that convinces mish et al that we are heading for a deflationary spiral a la Japonaise, but I just can't see it while sober. Recreational chemicals are a distant memory, and I don't even drink nor smoke cigarettes since 4 January 2005 (almost 3 months, yayy!), so stuck with the inflationary view of the US, I'm afraid -g- The endgame has not changed the path that get's us there required higher interest rates to prick the housing bubble. No more no less. Not once in history has debt like ours been inflated away. It's not different this time unless you think everyone borrowing zillions of dollars and going on shopping sprees were correct. As for me, I will be right and you can taunt me all the way if you choose. Mish
