not in this order: "period in the USA of de-leverage/bankrupcy/devaluation of the currency, deflation of assets.

1st)Devaluation (already on going for two years)

2nd)Deflation of assets (cum inflation, meaning, one asset loses its value in an inflationary environment).

This should have started in August. It hasn't yet kicked out real good because FED is pumping money (see the cum inflation part)

3) Bankruptcy

4) de-leverage

The Japan outcome is ruled out, because USA has no savings to support a program of deliberate stealing by the officialdom from the ruled population for and on behalf of the rest of the world at zero % money for a decade and longer.

So, first the Zimbabwe Solution, as is being tried now with progressively more insane actions, and then, inevitably, as with all societies without savings, the Argentine Outcome, where all turns to dust.

You are correct that it is difficult to survive a situation where all turns to dust.

Different stuff turns to dust at different junctures, and so we must zig, zag, jump, duck, be more agile than we have ever managed to be, more astute than our parents ever were, and be more resourceful than all of our ancestors could have have managed, so than we can save our next generation from a fate worse than serfdom.

This is what one Maestro Al Greensputin has wrought.
