I'm guessing that's what we'll see happen. There's not a politician under the sun who is willing to do the right thing even if it causes massive pain. Bernanke is a politician too. And for 5000 years politicians have printed money until the fiat currency collapses. No reason for that to not happen again. It's the human condition.Dave in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016238915167131989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-33913095731082955682011-01-06T05:26:04.553-07:002011-01-06T05:26:04.553-07:00Should be "vedo".

With all that debt I can't believe Congress won't pass another stimulus package (just call it something else) and the Fed implement QE3 to kick the can down the road for the 4th time (internet blow up, TARP and stimulus pkg.). These Republicans fashion themselves as fiscal conservatives. Who are they kidding? The political winds say 'no more spending' so they now make it their platform because they want to win. That's all they or anyone of these politicians want: to win. But when push comes to shove and they see the immediate effects of even a taste of austerity would bring this country would revolt and that would put their jobs in jepordy. (People really have no clue on how seriously cutting back spending would effect their daily lives. They say they want spending cuts but only those that impact everyone else). As a consequence,they will continue their spending even though they campaigned against it...until someone says enough is enough. China? Let's face it: The real difference between the Dems and Republicans is about the same as the difference between Coke and Pepsi. (Now I feel better :))<br /><br />Please, anyone feel free to comment.<br /><br />Great articles by the way Dave.

Capisco e parlo un po' l'italiano.<br /><br />I agree with you about southern France as another possible place to go to duck the flak. A colleague of mine and I have talked about that since 2002. But since I'm learning Italian, I figure southern Italy would convenient. <br /><br />At this point I'm open to any ideas!Dave in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016238915167131989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-44821407101278847052011-01-05T05:15:56.480-07:002011-01-05T05:15:56.480-07:00Bonjour Dave et bonne année.

Keep some of your assets outside the US as well as some PM's and have a reliable escape plan and nothing these criminals can touch.

They will get it."<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJeFrqBJF6EQueenbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726258173148844436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-25162362303129295322011-01-04T11:10:39.452-07:002011-01-04T11:10:39.452-07:00Can't argue with that logic.
