You wrote,<BR/><BR/><I>This was always going to come down to them just printing money, wasn't it?</I><BR/><BR/>I think you're right, and have thought so for several years now. I figured the gov't would not be able to resist adding liquidity whenever there were huge bankruptcies, and that we would therefore eventually end up with a lot of inflation, maybe even hyperinflation, as in Germany 1920-1923, Argentina 1984-1997, or Zimbabwe today, to name just a few examples.<BR/><BR/>Right now I see nothing to suggest I was wrong, and in fact everything seems to be trending in that exact direction.<BR/><BR/>Now I have been thinking that people should use any extra money they might have to prepare for a time in which the money system effectively stops working for some period of time. I suspect that could happen either through deflation or inflation. But I'm not an economist, so you probably should pay no attention to what I think.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, maybe I will turn out to be right <B>eventually</B>. That's what often happens with my predictions, but usually I am <B>far too early</B>. <BR/><BR/>In this case, who the hell knows?Ralph Dratmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426433134164984467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-70640503293624884812009-02-09T08:13:00.000-05:002009-02-09T08:13:00.000-05:00Ooh... not been on here for a while.Unfortunately ...Ooh... not been on here for a while.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately my street is still covered in snow and ice and I have a raging temperature.

Yes, I see the change, light at 4:45pm is thrilling, the sight of a robin, but we are still too snow and ice covered and it is still too early for anything to be poking through the soil.Rhode Island Ruleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154662787330864139noreply@blogger.com
