Well, the problem with debt deflation is that it kills credit and this kills the "real" economy. So it is "our" problem, too, even if indirectly.

I don't see why there would have to be no way out of stagflation this time around.

Agreed completely. (none / 0)

My point was not comprehensive; it was just looking at the immediate relationships. It's almost always "us" that face the problems ultimately.

As to John Williams' comment, I was just musing. Actually, I was amused that he would entertain the idea of co-ops or regulation, given his basic philosophy. Then he was sort-of emphatic that we were submerged in quick-shit. No, I don't agree with him about the future - just the present.
