>>BTW Chispas almost stopped posting to me<< Huh ? . Just a minute here <G> because my wife would laugh her head off. It happened with the 3rd child. I was at work, the office was very noisy, and my phone rang. After I said a 'hello' a very loud and excited voice said, "I'm pregnant !". (Little did I know that my wife was at the doctor's office that day.) When I didn't recognize the voice, I said, "Who is this ?" The reply was, "You son-of-a-b, who did you think it is ? !" And my wife hung up. I did eventually get out of the doghouse for the blunder, but my wife would remember that day and the name she called me !

Mish: For most who have watched Greenspan expand his "print-a-thon" response to every economic "rough patch", it is very difficult NOT to worry about inflation. That said, I simply can't imagine his efforts being capable of deflecting the deflationary Tsunamai heading our way. I am also in the camp that thinks our western economies could easily end up suffering from the worst aspects of both inflation (for example a debasing currency) at the same time as we suffer from the ill effects of deflation (falling employment comes to mind). With a large percentage of US consumers "debted out", and with the globe awash in excess productive capacity, I expect the demand side of the global economic equation will shortly become THE problem. Best, Earlie
