Why I think this will be worse than the Great Depression

  1. I can't believe your creditors will keep buying your debt.Both Bill and Hillary made comments so they know it's on the cards.Everyone knows in their blood that modern mainstream economics is a religion not a science.It pays Governments to keep the populaton in the dark to grow Government and siphon off savings to themselves.What happens when the risk of exposure of the lie is less than the financial impact of the truth.China will cut you free.

  2. Increasing the money supply is only one prong in what needs to be a multi-pronged approach to addressing this financial crisis.

    As regards to moral hazard, the current situation is already beyond the point where moral hazard can be effectively addressed without throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It's like worrying about possible addiction to painkillers in the middle of an operation with the patient suffering excruciating pain. The issue should be kept in mind but it should not stand in the way of efforts to fight off the crisis. There are more pressing issues at stake.

  7. 60 trillion dollar did not evaporate. They merely exchange hands and nominal value. That's the true nature of "crisis"

    You are right about the "stimulus" it wont get anywhere. That's why people like this thread.

    Thank you.

  8. Everything was kept artificially low.

    Low interest rates, low currency value, high credit, massive deficit (war)

    Now the market took enough and this are going back to equilibrium. A painful equilibrium.

  9. I dont know what to say.
    All central banks are doing what they do best, printing money. How fast they do this and how fast they economic fundamentals deteriorate will determine currency valuations. A little difficult to predict.

    But I know this much, the massive trade deficit the US had for a decade are long gone. This was artificially done by credit and those years will never come back.
