It qualifies as a black swan because absolutely no one can accurately predict the timing of the event or the exact nature of how it plays out, even though some of us expect it. The idea that our Fed can create money out of thin air with no limit will be proven to be wrong.

It's going to happen. My wish is that it occurs after my time.
I totally agree with the above post. This will ultimately be the undoing of the USA as a great nation. Fiscal responsibility by our Government (both parties) is a distant memory.
