    There isn't a way out of this mess.
    if the dollar keeps strengthening (unlikely) it will bring down stocks and commoditites which will lead to deflation and bring down the economy.
    if the dollar goes down expect hyper inflation which will also wreck the economy,although will reduce the govt debt.
    nobody knows

    What I dont understand is how anyone can think we are coming out of recession while debt is so high. Both at government and personal level. Surely the only way out is default or inflation. Can anyone tell me what I am missing please?

    Everyones still piling into property, stocks, bonds, etc.

    All the signals are the crash will come when no one expects it.
    Hmm, that is probably a very worrying development....
