<<A group of international politicians bailing out any country that needs help sends the clear and dangerous message to other countries that there will always be a safety net.>> Rod, Isn't this what economists call the 'moral hazard'. Somebody please educate me what would happen if Japan would need a bailout, (after she has sold the US paper), or if US needs a bailout. The point is if this crisis starts to roll over the world, countries are starting to default. Not yet, but perhaps sometime in the future. I saw Lawrence Lindsay on Moneyline a couple of days ago say that Japan is increasing its money supply at a rate of , one percent per day. Lou Dobbs took a double take and asked him to repeat it. What are the implications of this? Regards, Seppo
