The government has no choice but to keep rates down at all costs. Any utterances to the contrary are to keep the inflation hawks (suckers) from crying too much. We are in this mess for the long haul. Lots of damage to be worked through. And thats not pointing fingers at bush or anyone else. You simply can not undo the damage that we have done from 2003-2007 in a short period of time.

problem is there are no jobs, what has obama done , how is he going to create jobs with new taxes coming this year , and more tax increases in '11

why are the printing presses running 24/7?

this is not going to end pretty

You are not getting it though my friend. NO JOBS IS DEFLATIONARY!!!

LOL @ printing presses. {shakes head} We are where we are. Do I think we need to spend money on some of this garbage that was proposed? No. At the same time, interest rates have to remain low for the foreseeable future even if it means the presses run double time.

Lets talk about the jets.

oh gales. Lets not turn this into a geo-political discussion. The chinese and the rest of the world will buy our debt as long as we need them to because it is in their best interest to on many levels. But thats not what this thread is about.

The thread was about "hyper inflation". Obviously, if you are talking about unemployment and I am seeing housing values and new homes starts drop...then we are still in a DEFLATIONARY environment. And we will be here for a while.

You are always going to have speculation and regardless commodities/equity bubbles are certainly the lesser of the evils.

The worst of the rate adjustments is set to occur over the next two years. The housing market is not yet stabilized. Even a half point rise would send our markets into a tailspin.

There really is no choice.
