'That said, the dollar will quite likely fall further to as low as 60-s, and maybe even 40-s. That will seem like hyperinflation.' Likely this continues as long as we have a war on terror and attempt to plug the enormous holes in the dyke from the housing/mortgage meltdown. Only an offset via rising taxes on the super rich, further productivity gains and new innovation/discoveries in the real economy on a par with the internet revolution of the 1990's can even slow it down at this point IMHO..

"There is a limit to currency debasement, even though this seems unlikely at the moment." No, ALL currency goes to ZERO. Show me one in mans history that hasn't. If you want a current version take a look at Germany ....."After Germany's defeat the currency stayed valid initially. However, the allied forces also introduce new notes and coins, which did not carry the symbols of the nazi regime. The money could not buy a lot. Goods and foodstuff were not available due to the damages of the war. Money therefore became worthless. After the war a new currency evolved: cigarettes. On the black market cigarettes could buy everything." Sooooo is there a difference between fascist Germany in the '20s to '40s and one unnamed fascist regime.......enough said you get the point. Some argue that the intrinsic value of the USD is currently ZERO, hallelujah.
