Where's a good housing bubble when you need it?![/b]
All that cheap money the Fed's firehosing into just about every nook and cranny of the economy will come out of its hiding places sooner or later, and a few bubbles are bound to braek out somewhere.
Commodities, anyone?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CaptainMidnight @ Mar 24 2009, 11:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>My preference would be to find it all & squeeze it out now. There's a least two bubbles worth of "air" being released.Quote:

I think a better answer would have been "I wouldn't screw WTF with Summerhill hoochie." haha[/b]
I mean more than one member here has referred to undesireables with the expression, "I wouldn't Fu*K her with WTF's dick"

Figured that was more or less exactly your point...and as for the Chinese, did you see the comments Premier Wen made last week? Additionally, several other Chinese officials are pressing for the idea of replacing the dollar as a reserve currency with SDRs. (Of course, people like OPEC have been pushing for things like this for a long time. But the Chinese have a lot more clout.)
And aside from whether the they're willing to continue to purchase U.S. treasuries over the next few years, how are the Chinese going to be able to do so at anything like the pace that we'll be bringing debt offerings to market? (several trillion dollars over the next couple of years). That's especially true now, given that the recession has greatly reduced our imports of Chinese goods. And who else is going to buy all that debt? (without a huge interest rate increase, anyway.)
Even European finance ministers are becoming alarmed, even though they're obviously proponents of big-government spending. But they see the obvious: The U.S. is proposing huge spending increases with no credible way to finance them, and if nothing changes, our budget deficits will never decline much below 8-10% of GDP. Unless politicians actually start making some tough choices (rather than simply saying they're going to make them, and then demonstrating that they have no such intention), we're facing a massive fiscal train wreck.

The buck should still serve you pretty well there -- I think you can get about 14 pesos for one.
