So as not to be all negative I see a couple positive points.For one,for those who save from their hard labour,assets will be long term fair valued in a year or two(they already are in the hard hit housing areas--see John Vosilla).Also the developing world will grow much faster and allow some extra asset appreciation for those that invest there(timing is the problem and I do not understand China)And oh yes,the USA will make the hard changes with a gun against our head and a wall behind our back.I watched this show before-In Brazil.Also, a real leader will emerge.I dont know who but it will happen.

agreed that the past 10-20 years was very unusual, and that counting on same for another round on global basis may be tempting fate agree that monetary inflation dilutes debt and 'helps' debtors in so far as dilution is concerned am cognizant that monetary inflation brings out other ills that may not be as helpful, especially should such eventually meet a wall of hyper inflation or a cliff of diaper credit contraction/deflation 100% conviction of all-in one wager play, whatever the underlying asset and the fundamental premise may not prove wise agility matters much, and whatever happens should prove educational for the most, as most shall perish agreed that the issue is global, even though the manifestations are local, and nuances aplenty also, i figure most looters would be looted against whatever the case, 100% conviction in belief, even on my own part, would and could only mean a monetary death sentence, as it is not only about what should and will happen, but also about the timing and repeated iterations of happenings.

Re: In the US 40% of the people pay no Fed tax(excluding FICA or medicare where the pay less than the benefits they receive) Not true. Bush justified his tax cuts for high income taxpayers by "borrowing" from the "surplus" created by FICA tax contributor. It's been FICA taxes paying for Wall Streeter's tax cuts. (Actually, it's been FICA taxes paying for things like the Military so that the Wall Streeters wouldn't have to pay their fair share. FICA tax payers have been paying for 100% of benefits PLUS carrying the burden of other needs like defense. As the population ages, that will change unless the rules are changed. Wanna bet on whether or not the rules are changed?
