<<There's still a little debate over deflation vs. inflation first>>

<<Sub prime makes a lot of money go away>>

... all the cure-all monetary voodoo in response will created some offset to all the blown up loans backed by more blown up loans-supported assets

<<We may get price increases without asset price increases>>

... the worst of all possible worlds, bar one, where everything we need goes up in price, and everything we have goes the opposite direction.

Present shake up becoming clear now. Officially, the money made available for the banks is just to keep up with the depositors to withdraw without crashing the economy.

1) if the deposits are guaranteed by FDIC then, why depositors are withdrawing? OR
2) are the deposits much higher than the FDIC insured?

Why not, then, insure higher amounts thus making sure that the depositors are not going to withdraw since they feel they are safe?

Insured deposits by the FDIC must be increased by the same reason TJ’s gold is up: Because the USD value went down:
it was USD.85/Euro now is USD1.36 /Euro
