If we get ONE calamity and short-term interest rates increase on our debt? Lord help us.

We still have the military to back up the dollar. Even that advantage won't last forever but it works against tiny countries like Switzerland that are threats to the dollars (by making it look bad). The whole world will keep inflating with us for now. Like I said before, our choices are growth, default and inflation in various combos. Trump floated the default trial balloon as a candidate and I doubt he will do that again now. The right answer for Trump is economic growth. By increasing GDP that 6% goes down. IMO that will be paired with some inflation in time, but inflation expectations are remarkably low right now. I've been very wrong in the past predicting lots of inflation.

Yeah...me too. I'm thinking deflationary pressures may kill us first. Who knows. All I know is this is going to get us somehow...just don't know how exactly or when.
