When debt stops growing it is game over. Rising rates with massive federal spending might work. Rising rates without such spending is a death trap. I think the spending should start prior to the asset collapse. Either way on our current path we get both asset collapse and massive spending. Now if we stop raising rates or Trump has a tax cut that is not revenue neutral it will slow the above scenario. I, like Ray Dalio ,feel assets are not in a bubble at zero fed rates, they are in a bubble at higher rates and we have raised rates by .75%. Every 1% rise in real interest rates drops the value of assets by about 30% debtdeflation.com
