sim, não vai haver default do debt, vai haver impressão de dólares como se não houvesse amanhã
mas acertaram em parte: hiperinflação is on the way

Isso não é possível.
Quer dizer, isso já aconteceu no dia 15 de Agosto de 1971 quando Nixon decretou o fim da convertibilidade dos dollares em ouro.
Desde então a FED pode mandar fabricar o dinheiro que quiser, quando quiser.
A dívida americana está em dolares e eles podem sempre fabricar dolares à vontade para a pagar.
Mas quem é que quer isso? Os credores ficavam cheios de dolares altamente desvalorizados que não iam servir para nada.
Na prática podem endividar-se à vontade. Vantagens de terem a moeda de referência mundial.
Por essas e por outras é que são o país mais seguro do mundo para se investir.

Nixon's Treasury secretary, John Connally, told furious Europeans that the dollar was "our currency but your problem." The same could be said for today's dollar trouble, which is why French President Nicolas Sarkozy said plaintively last week that "the dollar cannot remain someone else's problem." For the United States, a falling dollar means pricier imports but also an export boom that could carry the U.S. economy through its housing bust. Yet for France and other countries that use the euro, a weak dollar means a loss of competitiveness -- not only against U.S. producers but also against dollar-pegging Asian exporters.
The falling dollar is a headache for the dollar-peggers, too. Their problem is the mirror image of the European one: Countries such as China and the Arab Gulf states are already experiencing an export boom that is overheating their economies. As a falling dollar drags down their currencies, this overheating gets worse. Meanwhile, they have accumulated vast piles of dollar assets that are now losing value. Saving on America's behalf turns out to be expensive.
So the world faces a dilemma. The last thing it wants is more dollar weakness, which is why central bankers in East Asia and the petro-states, which control most of the world's official reserves, are not about to dump U.S. bonds and trigger a collapse in the greenback. But the world may also draw the lesson that an alternative global currency needs to be the long-term goal. Households don't like saving in a currency that won't hold its value. Companies don't like building global supply chains based on a unit of account that fluctuates unstably.
Most economists assume that the dollar will continue to act as the global currency because there is no alternative.
As pessoas são tão ingénuas e tão agarradas aos seus interesses imediatos que um vigarista hábil consegue sempre que um grande número delas se deixe enganar.

Convém dizer que estes tipos acertaram na mouche ao preverem a corrente crise com bastante antecedencia. Será que a nova previsão deles também baterá certo????
Global systemic crisis Alert - Summer 2009: The US government defaults on its debt
- Public announcement GEAB N°28 (October 16, 2008) -
16/10/2008
In this 28th edition of the GEAB, LEAP/E2020 has decided to launch a new global systemic crisis alert. Indeed our researchers anticipate that, before next summer 2009, the US government will default and be prevented to pay back its creditors (holders of US Treasury Bonds, of Fanny May and Freddy Mac shares, etc.). Of course such a bankruptcy will provoke some very negative outcome for all USD-denominated asset holders. According to our team, the period that will then begin should be conducive to the setting up of a « new Dollar » to remedy the problem of default and of induced massive capital drain from the US. The process will result from the following five factors studied in detail further in this GEAB:
1. The recent upward trend of the US Dollar is a direct and temporary consequence of the collapse of stock markets
2. Thanks to its recent « political baptism », the Euro becomes a credible « safe haven » value and therefore provides a « crisis » alternative to the US dollar
2. The US public debt is now swelling uncontrollably
3. The ongoing collapse of US real economy prevents from finding an alternative solution to the country’s defaulting
4. « Strong inflation or hyper-inflation in the US in 2009? », that is the only question.
