Ultimately, when the SHTF, asset prices will fall in real terms; yet those entities which have been bailed out or otherwise received free money -- they will be the owners of most assets in the US, so the empirical collapse masks the transfer of ownership that will have *already* taken place. When looting, raping, and pillaging a third world nation, one wants to have a lock on the resources and other assets.

Put another way, it isn't insanity; it's cold, calculated looting of the national treasury, the citizenry, and of other nations for as long as the reserve currency status persists.

We had lots of chances to let entities that WEREN'T "TBTF" fail and we didn't. The result will be that when the inevitable hits it will be unimaginably catastrophic. I agree that it's a "when not if" scenario at this point.
