Like The Wrath Of God..........................


“The U.S. has no way of avoiding a financial Armageddon,” says our friend the always chipper John Williams, expecting something much more ominous than a mild recession.
“Bankrupt sovereign states most commonly use the currency printing press as a solution to not having enough money to their obligations. The alternative would be for the U.S. to renege on its existing debt and obligations — a solution rarely seen outside of governments overthrown in revolution…”
At the current pace, “Hyperinflation could be experienced as early as 2010, if not before, and likely no more than a decade down the road. The U.S. government and Federal Reserve already have committed the system to this course through the easy politics of a bottomless pocketbook, the servicing of big-moneyed special interests and gross mismanagement.
“While the dollar has taken a heavy hit — down roughly 20% against key currencies from last year — selling of the U.S. currency still has been far short of the outright dollar dumping that eventually will lead to flight to safety outside of the U.S. dollar.”
