>Nothing Can Stop It: “An Economic Collapse that is Going to be Worse than 1929? *Video*  - Mac Slavo - ShtfPlan
It is a very good interview and Denninger makes some excellent points. That being said, there was one shortcoming in his reasoning that came close to the end of the interview wherein he stated that the Fed has been increasing the credit/money supply by 6 1/2% annually, yet GDP has only been increasing by 2%, meaning that the economy is in fact declining by 4 1/2%. While there is nothing wrong with his math, there is a problem with the underlying assumption that all of the newly created credit/money is remaining within the borders of America. Clearly, that is not the case. The greenback has been going up in value because foreigners have been purchasing it, seeing it as a safe haven.

That number would seem to be a far better fit for the reality on the ground.
