That's the playbook I think is most likely right now, and I'd agree with Vi that the dollar @ 40 within say five years seems a likelihood. I think the deficit this year will be 2.5 trillion, for what it's worth. I have yet to place a bet on Treasury rates rising, because I think the impact of the Feds buying them will keep rates artificially lower. Or we have a Japan outcome, low rates for years, so why get ground down by ETF fees? Nowadays, stock market looks like a casino nearly through and through, complete with the mafia, magnets, rigged slot machines, thugs beating the crap out of winning gold stocks out back. Two generations of investors have been severely damaged. It's easy to see how market confidence won't return until the dysfunctional, decoupled, and detached ruling elite gaming the tables finally dies out and a new group emerges that realizes that millions of Americans consider everything they do to be crap and that no amount of spam assuring them of quick easy profits will have any effect any longer. From the sounds of it, there will be no housecleaning this generation, so it will be up to the next to start that process, if they can ever bribe their way through the door.
