The threat of inflation By John Schroy, on March 31st, 2009 |  3 comments  The supremacy of the US dollar is not yet dead, but portents of a fatal cancer — inflation — are there for all to see. The extreme, profligate spending of the Obama administration, combined with populist, irresponsible bank lending policies promoted by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, portend rising interest rates, the collapse of the bond market, and the end of dollar supremacy. Furthermore, a large part of the American electorate doesn’t understand or is unaware of what lies ahead.

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.
