The Next Decade: Best of Times, Worst of Times

Thanks for InDation. Agree with you, greed conducted to bad practices that degenerated in fundamental problems simply hidden under the carpet for the moment - not gone.

Inflation vs. Deflation: Pick Your Poison

Agree that inflation is the worst choice, but will be the choosen one. And agree that it might run over 7%. The ones to benefit will again with the ones with the money: unfair. Wages might keep up with rising prices for some, making it more "palatable", but what about retired people (growing in numbers), with fixed-income assets. This will be horrible.

Fed Mostly Ignores Inflation

Inflation is here, and will only increase dramatically in the coming months and years. It cannot be otherwise based on the amount of money the government has been printing, their need to "reduce" the mind blowing amount of debt accumulated, and the commodities hunger accelerating in Asian countries.

Sidestepping the Inflation and Deflation Dichotomy

Mr. Corcoran,
In a very short note, for me, you summarized it al. I agree with you, and your take out from Mr. Inoculated Investor's article. There is not conflict, we will get both Deflation and Inflation, the worst case scenario. Too bad human greed brought us to savage capitalism.

We Need Inflation Now

I totally agree with sethmcs's comment. Inflation will serve debtor only, and the government. What about the savers and and what about all the retired people with fixed revenues?

The Seduction of America

Monsieur,
Thank you for coming back to this "free lunch" imagery used in a previous article, and building on it the way you did. Your "Free Lunch Seduction" section is particularly meaningful. This article is a keeper for me who is not an economist, or a specialist from this field. You have a word in English, "GREED", we don't have in French, and it says it all, while making me more and more desesperate about human nature (am a psychologist). Thanks again.

Two Economies, And One Must Die

Thanks much for this article. I simply want to add my voice to other people who agree with you about the Casino Economy, and the absolute need to get back to Real Economy.

Obama Wants a 'Better Plan'? Here's One: Bite the Bullet

Bonjour,
Totally agree with your POV. Hyperinflation would be much more devastating in a couple of years from now than biting the bullet now.

What Does the Bubble in U.S. Treasuries Mean for the Economy?

Bonjour!
Even if this comment clearly states it is not based on predictions but on conjunctures or supposals, it links together some real facts and numbers and brushes a picture that is quite plausible, and not comforting. We are and will be facing some hard times. Thanks for this POV.

America's Economic Collapse: How Bad Will it Get?

Thank you for sharing this. Very disturbing. I heard about what happened in Argentina, and what the Big Banks did. To read about this this way means a lot to me.
I am a psychologist, no economist, so not a specialist in the field. For more than a year now politicians, along with many economists, just minimized the size of the financial and economical crisis we are in to avoid "panic". It went from mild recession, to recession, to inflation, to deflation, to stagflation. And more and more now I read DEPRESSION. I hope there are still some intelligent and responsible people with enough power to take actions that could help turning this major crisis around.

Forbes Says, Devalue the Dollar. Bad Idea.

Mr Karsan: Thank you for your article. Finance and economy are not my fields of work. I am a psychologist, and a retiree as of this year. My reaction to Mr Beck article was one of horror: reward the ones who were full of greed and / or stupidity, at the expense of the people who tried to manage their money and their life in a decent / reasonable way! I am one of those who from now on will have a fixed income. I saves all my life to have just enough money not to become dependant on other people or public services when I get older. There are many like us out there. So let's try to be fair to the whole community here. We can all tighten our belts a little, together, but don't make others pay for your owns mistakes. Adrena.
