>>If you had some money and were damn sure which way its going you could make some money.
It’s that being ‘damn sure’ part that is tricky ;) <<
That is the trick - particularly with “experts” confidently predicting both deflation and (in this article) runaway inflation.

I'm inclined to believe that our current period of deflation is temporary. Deflation and stable pricing happens with a stable currency. If the money supply is increased dramatically in a short period of time deflation should be nipped in the bud and inflationary pressures should mount. We have thrown the aerosol can into the bonfire and we are waiting to see what happens. Either it explodes or it doesn't...

I was responding specifically to the point that the article did not mention where the debt came from. I was stating that the source likely isn't important in an economic analysis, once the debt has been incurred.

It would spread the risk and take some of it out of the hands of current monopoly players.

Excellent points with this, I think, being the most important:
the positioin of US treasury bonds as both a safe and profitable investment
It has to be both, not either or. I hear a lot of currency traders/speculators saying where would you go, but the dollar?
They are setting themselves up.
