The carpet baggers are coming for us

Martin Armstrong: We are on the verge of a systemic global meltdown and if you do not understand what we face, you will lose your shirt, pants, wife, kids, and the farm. This whole nonsense of HYPERINFLATION PRESUMES government will just continue to print forever. They do not even address the reality that the bondholders are the very people who are demanding to raise taxes and impose austerity to ensure what they are paid back and not with devalued funny money. They warn government that their future borrowing capacity is at stake and unless they do as the bankers say, the world will end for they will no longer be able to borrow continuously. This is the inherent check against HYPERINFLATION that is ignored by all this hype. The average person is being squeeze both in taxes and in interest rates. The banks have positioned themselves as the necessary evil and eliminating Glass-Steagall was critical to their agenda. They can now dominate the financial world pushing more and more debt controlling government and keeping spreads between cost of funds and lending rates at record highs.
