Now, there is no going back. Inflationary depression is guaranteed here. The only issue is how bad will inflation get and when will the dollar be replaced, is it going to be in 2012 or 2020. ------ Don't underestimate fascists. When I went through the TJ border last month every border guard I spoke to or heard speak was a naturalized citizen with a retained accent from elsewhere. They do not take kindly to jokes from those born in the US as my partner found out the hard way. I fully expect the Cops Nation elite to crack down big time on personal liberties. Ain't seen nuttin' yet.

<<Now, there is no going back. Interest rates are negative across the spectrum. Inflationary depression is guaranteed here. The only issue is how bad will inflation get and when will the dollar be replaced, is it going to be in 2012 or 2020.>> Devaluation woud be the first crisis. But when?? As long as Asian prop the dollar from a real collapse, i have no idea. It would seem the prop will be as long as the american consumers frenetic consumption makes it the interest of Asia(especially China) to protect us. i believe we are a protected welfare state economy where the welfare is coming in the main from Asia. Why? They seem to think a collapse in consumer spending in U.S. would do grievous harm to their economy. If someone can tell me when the foreign inflow slows down significantly then i could date this. Thus far it has been something being predicted for several years(asia cuttingback significantly on the money flow into U.S. bonds and such to counter are import deficit) but it simply does not haooen.
