Social change: By John Schroy, on June 25th, 2010 |  One comment  Restricted availability of consumer credit and a greater propensity of households to save before spending, may result in less use of credit cards and smaller mortgages. A return, even partial, to saving habits of the 1950s could stimulate economic recovery. The popular Dave Ramsey radio and TV shows suggest that a societal change in this direction is at least possible. Lower levels of personal debt would boost the economy and make people happier.

Profligate deficit spending by the Pelosi-Reid Congress increases the probability of dollar inflation. If foreign governments were to convert their holdings of dollar financial assets into non-financial assets, like US REITs, they can guard against dollar inflation. They might also gain a position that, in the extreme, would be against US national security interests.
