That's a good article and it's exactly right. We've been seeing the dollar actually rise in value despite increasing debt and printing of money to monetize portions of the debt. That would be logical, except that the European debt crisis is sparking a flight to safety with the USD perceived as the safest place. That's really short term thinking, but there it is. My guess is that Europe will get things under control this year and when the EURO bottoms out, it will be the safe haven again and then look out below of the USD. My guess is that the Fed will begin raising rates after the November elections. Then bonds will start to fall quickly.

'He explains why the U.S. is in a depression and why a -Hyper-Inflationary Great Depression' is now unavoidable.' I dunno...I can see a stagflationary rolling depression if interest rates rise significantly in the states. In the alternative a continuation of what is going on now perhaps a prolonged period of volatility with those ruling who can take the most advantage of controlling cash flowing assets at bargain prices with operating margins 10%+ range while leveraging their equity at generational low rates.
