Weimar Greece
Weimar Greece
The debt owed by Greece is in the neighbourhood of US $345 billion (reports vary). The likelihood of eventual repayment is very slim indeed. The logical solution would be to allow a collapse. To be sure, both blood and red ink would flow, but, as a result, Greece would emerge sooner as a country of people who learned, painfully, that their only solution is to pick up their socks and begin to rebuild. But this will not happen.

You cannot get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek. - Author unknown
The ECB is the only European institution that can conceivably bail out the PIIGS. It can do this only by debasing the euro. Inflation is the only option. There will be no fiscal union, except one that is imposed illegally. In any case, it cannot come before the end of the year. It is unlikely to come by the end of 2013. But the eurozone's banking system does not have until the end of the year. It must have a bailout now – one large enough to carry the banks and governments of Spain and Italy through the recession. 
Planets Align for Stock Market Crash in 2013 − If Not Sooner Argentina Begins to Implode
In Argentina, the situation continues to spiral out of control. The government there has effectively banned the conversion of Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars and has also instituted all-out capital controls to prevent the flight of all U.S. dollars still held in Argentina. As a result, the black market exchange rate for U.S. dollars is nearly 50% higher than the official exchange rate quoted by the government. Moreover, the Argentine government is so concerned about the flight of U.S. dollars that its citizens cannot exit the country without a blessing from the Argentine tax authority and a once-over by cash sniffing dogs.
Meanwhile, the real inflation rate is expected to top 30% in 2012, and promises by the Argentine government that they will not devalue the peso seem laughable to everyone but government officials. In an effort to prop up the peso, the Argentine government is forcing property owners and lenders to accept Argentine pesos in lieu of U.S. dollars. Fearful that all U.S. dollars left in the system may be confiscated, many Argentines are withdrawing whatever U.S. dollars they have and putting them in safety deposit boxes, leaving a shortage of available safety deposit boxes in Buenos Aires. Why Argentines believe their government will act with more restraint than the United Kingdom is unclear. (British Government Raids 7,000 Safety Deposit Boxes)
The Argentine boom/bust cycle is happening again, as it does nearly every decade. This time is no different, despite what Keynesian economists might say. |

Then Came Tumbling Down!

11 Signs That Time Is Quickly Running Out For The Global Financial System

In that period of falling prices, the CPI was only down 1-2%. If we take a look at Japan's monetary base, however, there was only one period where it actually contracted, and that was between 2005 and 2010. But the period that the deflationists like to talk about - 1989 going forward - Japan's monetary base expanded every year. Government spending expanded viscerally.
Silver: Supply and Demand
U.K. Jun M4 money supply fell -1.6% m/m and -5.2% y/y, the biggest annual decline since the BOE began money supply data in 1983.
For a second time this month, China's Ministry of Railways said it will increase spending on China's railroads and bridges this year after it announced plans to spend 470 billion yuan ($74 billion) on projects this year, 4.8% higher than a July 3 projection.
