John the only limit to spending in a country with a reserve currency is inflation. Only two ways to create money: the bank creates it privately or the government deficit spends it into existence.The banks are not lending and the people not borrowing as they think assets are in a bubble.I say they are not at fed rates around 1% but could become at higher rates. The fed is for the first time trying to pop a bubble and as irony would have it there is no bubble. If banks will not create money the US must deficit spend it into existence.I am happy to buy housing at 15% cap rates at below replacement cost.If the fed pops non bubble asset prices the people will arrive at the capitol with pitch forks and the government will spend then. The future is bright except two speed bumps (China and USA credit issues) these speed bumps will create even better asset values.By the way, back in Brasil stocks for the first time in a couple years (bought BBD at 4X earnings about one and a half years ago and sold within months for a double) Brazil stocks( at PE 10 with recent passage of labor reforms and sentencing of Lula to prison) are cheap. Elroy say I don't know economics. She is a fool
