I agree about the dollar, and could see a monetary deflation at the same time as a retail inflation. Does that make sense? Destruction of fictitious capital, which normally would produce retail deflation, but instead the decline of the dollar will be a stronger force and raise import prices, raw materials, and so the buying power of the consumer will decline. Maybe... the wildcard here is the game that the rest of the world plays with the dollar -- when will they stop trying to prop it up (or similarly, devalue their own currency to maintain exports)?

That will be endgame, yes. But i do NOT see endgame occuring now. One being as long as China and Japan and the Arabian Peninsula find it in their interest that USD does NOT collapse, they will work to prevent a collapse of the dollar. Also, the U.S. is the most dangerous country in the world, and i mean that with a sense of horror that i live in such a dangerous to the world country(it ain't Iran, america, it is US). Do i think that such as China have considered that if the USD collapses the U.S. will take it out on the world with Nukes? Yes, i do, they must consider that. There is a Gotterdammarungen Madness to this country, imHo. Max
