John Burns, I love these stories you post on global fiscal policy but I understand just enough to be scared of what I don't understand with insufficient time to fully educate myself on the topic. Since I have yet to figure out if dispatching all debt or acquiring more debt is the proper course of action to weather the impending storm, AND it doesn't matter if you are right or wrong if you get the timing wrong I'm going to need you to start forwarding more actionable intelligence.  Something on the order of, "get out of debt now" or "borrow all the money you can to buy hard assets"  at the appropriate time.  Please provide 3-6 months advance notice as some of the transactions involve somewhat illiquid assets.  Email is in Profile   LOL
