I heard it all from da bearz, and they are right, but it is a
depression that never comes -g- Personally, I opt for 1922 in
Germany or currently in Zimbabwe, rather than 1929 in the United
States. Only this time it will happen faster. The buck could
fall to 40 in no time at all (1 DAY to 1 month; usually a
currency crisis stage lasts 1 month).
USD debt to be forgiven, inflated
away into the wind. Those in deep debt will benefit most, since
that category includes US government. -g-
Anyhow, with rate cuts and 14% M3 growth, housing could rebound
pretty soon. Housing is inflation hedge as well, after all.
I'm not sure I get the bond bulls. The dollar fell a lot more
in the past 2 months than UST yield in a year. I guess they are
betting the Fed will cut, and they are happy with 5% yields that
are above BLS-calculated inflation -g-

I'd say hyperstagflation is coming, not hyperinflation. Back to
the 70-s -g- Debt acceleration at any cost.
