They don't really need to stoke the inflation fire. I just heard, and I haven't verified yet, that new Series EE Bonds are going to pay .7% a year for 30 years. Govt. is using -5.5% as the benchmark rate to come up with this yield. That would get people spending money. Who's going to put money into junior's college fund at .7%? Oh and another item.. I-bonds are paying 0% interest at least through Oct. 31, 2009.

without money pumping gravity takes on and return to natural size takes over inexorably. US should open theier eyes. Examples abound: Shrink of vehcile production and sales channels, housing starts dropping. Japan took 1990 - 2008 (18 years) to start shrinking for real. Only could delay the shrinking because the money pupmed into the big cushion avoided the shrinkage. Other OECD countries Return to natural size will be much more dramatic since it isgoing to happen in a short time span. Only countries within the demographic window will grow real good. We will be talking about, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran and Indonesia a lot as those countries start consuming and wil keep world~s economy growing.
