Stiglitz is using the 1-2 trillion number -- a stark reminder of what things actually cost when you own up to them. But we are a society (generation?) that does not own up to any of our problems. We can let our infrastructure rot, our education standards slip, our finances fall into ruin and our international affairs turn into a nightmare of religious wars largely of our own making and then step back and accept no responsibility. Are we mice or men? Pass the cheese please.

I'm most amazed so many still think depression/deflation is the end game.. So, the only solution is hyperinflation?. How will the bond market react to it? What will go up faster inflation or bond yields? Can US consumer withstand (with todays debt load) 14% (back to the 1982)inflation rate with 18% short and 20% long term rates? Inflationists can't assume that only the rate of inflation is going to go up. Do you think that bond market is going to take it lightly?
