Money is now damn near free, yeah. Anyone else notice the dollars scary decline against the euro in the past week and a half? All the gains it had made are just about gone, at this rate by the end of the week.

Since inflation is going to nail us super hard in the not to distant future, maybe I should rack up about $100k in CC debt now while it has some buying power. I'll pay them back in a couple of years when $100k will buy a loaf of bread.

Just try to find a bank that'll extend you a mortgage...

Some inflation is better then deflation/depression.

It is hard for me to get worried about inflation
with home prices down 20%, oil at $40 from $147

I think the Euro is up right now because the ECB (European Central Bank) is refusing to cut rates as the Fed and every other group has done. They can't hold off much longer. Whole world economy is correcting right now. Just keep an eye on China. Their books are a bit suspect anyway.

Can't wait until the Fed starts paying people to borrow money.
