The bubble IS the dollar. When the bubble bursts you will not have low rates. Rates are set in Beijing, London, Tokyo, Dubai and Moscow -- not Washington.

Again, that is up to Japan/China and Arabian Peninsula, imo A reality check on how dangerous the U.S. is that i am next to certain the U.S. has let it be known that to China , for instance, that if they were to start dumping our treasuries(they have over a trillion dollars of them) and thus crashing the U.S. Bond, the U.S. would view that as an act of war. i quietly submit that these times are more complex and DANGEROUS than at ANYTIME in world history. i humbly suggest we need leave economic theory as being the all of for our projections and start factoring in the GeoPolitic, which is TENSE, to say the least. The Spear Report has suggested the U.S. to survive will start selling itself. They suggest the limitation of 20% of foreign parties for holding of shares in U.S. Banks will be removed. The TSR wrote as a joke sometime back that U.S. might have to sell Nevada and Alaska to finance themselves but they recently said, it doesn't seem now as a just a joke comment. Max
