'..on the contrary, the bursting of the housing bubble weakens the dollar and adds to inflationary pressures.'

It certainly does for the dollar continuing to weaken short term and especially for inflation on the back end when housing actually recovers, inventory tightens and rents and costs of construction skyrocket along with everything else.. Remember in the 70's we actually had two major housing corrections followed by swift bounces a few years later..

I think Mish is in the deflation camp because he believes hyperinflation can happen if wages increased sharply and he argues that wages cannot increase because of competition by cheap labor across the world. Maybe there is a gaping hole in that argument somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it!
