Japan 1990. We have the same DSR (debt to service ratio) they had 1990. = Deflation. Bernanke will fight it. He'll drop more dollars from helicoptors until we collapse. He'll cut rates like 2001-02. How do you get out of a debt bubble? This is the question. The only answer I know of is: You deflate. 1929 U.S. - 1990 Japan. They can't cause inflation like the 70's. We're in globalization now with people overseas working for a handful of rice. They're just using old outdated economic models thinking they can prop up housing. I smell the deflation. It might not be here yet, but we're close, IMO.

If the banks are in big trouble, 1% Fed funds is the easiest way to get them back on their feet. Who knows, perhaps this time around we will behave like Japan, and no new bubble will emerge.
