I am very concerned about both the stock market and housing bubbles created by prolonged artificially low interest rates and other irresponsible actions taken by the Federal Reserve. I am also very concerned about both our country and it’s residents seemingly incurable addiction to unsustainable debt. Unfortunately, fiscal discipline seems to be a thing of the past and something the younger generations have never known. The unfortunate result of this will be high inflation, a substantially weaker dollar, and significant asset bubble corrections.

That being said, the predictions in the above quoted post are extremely pessimistic, especially in the stated time frame. Buckle up!
