#2 100-year bonds sound kind of "iffy." 100-year bonds would probably outlive you. However, it might be a vehicle for passing on wealth to kids and grandkids. The article was a little light on how these would work.

#3 Since Trump has; been elected every whack-a-doodle idea on every subject by every "expert" will be brought out and touted as a sure path to nirvana.

Give the abilities of the MSM they will push all of them in an attempt to make Trump look foolish.

#5 I agree with Raj.

I also think this is 'projection' by the same folks who suggested in March of 2008 that “the financial sector’s strongest players (article cited Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Bank of America, Washington Mutual, among others) probably don’t have further to sink, even with the ongoing pressure of negative news. Stocks of the industry’s strongest players could climb by 10% to 20% over the next year as panic recedes, earnings improve and price-to-earnings multiples expand.”

I'm not listening to them again without an awful lot of data.

#7 Airandee, rent the federal employees out as contract labor to septic tank cleaners, slaughter houses, and circuses to clean up after the elephants.

#8 The USA and all the other developed countries will sooner or later have to inflate their debts away.

Sooner is better and trade tariffs on china may be just the kick start inflation needs.
