if people didn't realize they took out more for home loan then they could afford how do you expect them to realize there is inflation. if this 'crisis' has taught anyone anything, it is that you NEVER pay your debts

I went to buy a childs birthday card at CVS this afternoon. I picked it out and went to the cash register. The lady scanned it and asked for $8.00. It was a WTF moment. Fark Hallmark.-NG- -------------------------- at least not until the inflation is big and undeniable and obvious to everyone. That could take a while. I certainly wouldn't try to time it and bet against the Bernanke and the CBs.

As smart as Faber and Schiffer are, I have to wonder about the hyperinflation scenario. Can the Fed really be so stupid as to print until that happens? Bernanke's tenure is up in about another 18 months. Another possibility is that the next Fed chief says, sorry, we've done what we can, now the chips have to fall where they may, and we get deflationary debt default. There are at least some rumblings among the Fed governors to that effect. I don't think anything is a given at this point.
