The Debt
Wall
According
to Marc Nuttle (DebtWall.org), the world has less than
eighteen months till we hit this wall. Marc Nuttle is a
well-known expert in global trade and economic policy. He
has served on the Industrial Policy Advisory Committee for
Trade and Policy matters for the U.S. Government under
President Ronald Reagan. In that capacity he wrote and
advised the Reagan Administration on worldwide trade and
General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) for six years.
He also served as legal counsel to President Reagan's United
States Synthetic Fuels Transition Team. Marc Nuttle has also
advised the countries of Bulgaria, Ukraine and Russia along
with businesses owned and controlled by the People's
Republic of China.
Various economic experts think
that the world's capacity of sustainable debt at 70% of GDP
is $42 trillion? And did you know that today's world's debt
is at $58 trillion, 97% of the GDP. Several economic
forecasts predict that by 2013 world deficits will exceed a
debt of $70 trillion or 116% of the world debt to GDP. The
debt wall is just months away if borrowing continues
unabated.

IMF
reports that pension and insurance funds that usually rely
on "safe" bonds could find it more difficult to cover what
they owe because of low interest rates in industrialized
countries.
Census
Bureau has reported 46.2 million people in poverty in 2010.
The largest group for the 52 years that data has been
published. The number of people in poverty rose for the
fourth consecutive year as the poverty rate climbed to
15.1%, the highest since 1993, up from 14.3% in 2009. Real
median household income in 2010 was $49,445, down 2.3% from
the prior year.

A Treasury
source dismissed the idea of the department and the Fed
working to develop a 50-year product.
Pento said the
Fed would "be even more insolvent" if it took on longer-term
debt that it would have to hold to duration should prices
fall and yields rise, as they would if inflation
accelerates.

“The
market is pricing in another round of large-scale asset
purchases, looking for confirmation possibly as early as the
Jackson Hole symposium” in Wyoming this week, Anshul
Pradhan, a fixed-income research analyst at Barclays in New
York, said in an interview last week. “The probability of
that is low. If the Chairman does disappoint, then there
should be a reversal in the outperformance of 10-year
notes.”

SocGen's Edwards reported to have said
...
Be sure to lock in a low-rate mortgage
while you can, though. After that, says Edwards, a period of
hyper inflation will push bond yields into double digits and
send the S&P 500 stock index tumbling to 400, only a third
of its current value.
