There will be no inflation. There is too much production of everything and not enough dollars to buy .Rates cant go much lower. Massive deficit spending o the way. Trumps tax cuts will help, Houston will help Puerto Rico will help. There are lots of assets with 10-20% return in a zero rate world, that is crazy. Those who see will become very wealthy. Only human error via raising rates or the unexpected catastrophe will stop this. Buy developing market assets

You're being deliberately blind again with your nonsense song about the EU. Take off your long-distance blinders. Nobody in Catalonia or Spain want to leave the EU or would benefit from leaving. Catalonia wants much closer integration and cooperation with the EU. The EU has no regulations that people need to speak a particular language, but Spain does. People in Catalonia speak Catalan and are often far more fluent in French, English, or Italian than they are in Spanish. What Catalonia is tired of is Madrid - and Spains' tired economy which depends heavily on real estate booms inevitably followed by real estate busts. Virtually all of Spain's productive manufacturing and Intellectual property economy lies in Catalonia. I could easily live in Barcelona. It's beautiful, easy to live in, high speed transportation by rail or air, great food, great university and schools, everything you could possibly need and frankly it's fun and festive. The only comparable part of Spain is the nearby island of Palma de Mallorca, which is the capital of the Balearic Islands but administratively part of Mallorca on the mainland - which they have little in common with. Another relic of Franco's era. Living elsewhere in Spain, even in larger cities like Seville or Madrid are like living in the quiet and depressed agricultural city of Bakersfield rather Los Angeles. The most sparkling cultural event is often a fountain. Spain's weak central government has limited borrowing in the rest of the country and it shows in a lack of everything apart from empty homes and empty airports. Would Spain benefit from leaving the EU? Oh God no. Spain receives €1.70 for every €1 the send to the EU. Why? Spain is the land of vacation homes for people from Northern Europe and while Northern Europeans like "Spanish charm", they still expected the legal and infrastructure amenities they enjoy in Northern Europe. One of Britain's largest problems in leaving the EU will be dealing with all of the UK retirees living in Spain. No longer part of the EU they would suddenly have no healthcare in Spain. Brexit is going to be far more costly than superficial thinkers have assumed.
