Exactly. The FDIC is virtually the last line of defence for the banking system, they'd sell the National Parks to China or immediately revalue the currency if they had to to keep it afloat

I think that's something the inflationists may be underestimating. The inflation already happened. It's done. The money ran all over the planet. Commodities exploded. The rest of the world ended up owning all our debt. Whether we see it as a ruinous inflation here now depends largely upon what our creditors decide to do with their dollar holdings. Should they attempt to cash them in, we're crushed. If they all continue to hold 'em, then deflation probably rules the next few years. Gregor thinks the powers that be can force the ROW's hand. Makes sense to me. Message 25199231
