What's It Going to Be: Inflation or Deflation? [View article]
The trouble with buying TIPS is the I is based on the gov't nos.
derrly's synopsis makes sense. So who holds all the debt? Whoever it is would have a vested interest in not seeing the US economy go bust if they ever expect to get anything out of that debt. I see countries propping up the $ - England, the EU, the Swiss, etc. Will they will want to hold that dollar denominated debt long term? Will anyone want to buy debt from anyone as fiscally irresponsible as uncle sam? Will they prop the $ up until they can cash in their treasury certificates and spend the money? Will they be able to spend the money anywhere but the US? Will prices of real estate and any other hard asset be on a shot for the moon? Isn't this called inflation?

Dump a whole bunch of something on the market, it's value ( the price you can get for it) drops. Keep on a printing boys . . .
The $ is toast.
