Die FED auf Gesells Spuren (Wallstreet Journal diese Woche)
-->der fettgedruckte Satz unten übersetzt:
Das Wall Street Journal berichtete diese Woche, dass die FED besorgt ist, die Schuldenlast könne den Konsum abwürgen. Bereits vor Beginn der Baisse
bei einem Treffen in abgeschiedener Runde dachten Spezialisten über Möglichkeiten der FED nach, die Nachfrage anzukurbeln: z.B. indem Dollarscheine einen Magnetstreifen erhalten, der im Laufe der Zeit ihren Wert mindert."
Vermutlich sind sie aber zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass Schwundgeld die Schulden auch nicht tilgt - außer man macht dort auch einen Magnetstreifen dran, wie es in der Bibel steht (da gabs doch was mit Schuldenerlass alle soundsoviel Jahre).

...the average consumer and the average business BOTH need to have some income/revenue left over after the debt payment(s) each month. Otherwise life in both cases gets, well, complicated.
This brings us to the specific and almost exact similarity I have in mind: Consumer debt has doubled since the 1950s to 90% of personal income. Corporate debt has likewise doubled to 89% of revenue in the same period.
Total debt (not including the Federal Government) today equals some 158% of GDP. Debt levels have not been this high on a percentage basis since the late 1920s.
This data was in The Wall Street Journal this week, as part of a story titled"Inside the Fed, Deflation is Drawing a Closer Look." The Fed's concern is that debt levels could choke off the ability to spend among consumers and corporations.
Members of the Fed were discussing a deflationary scenario even before the bear market began in stocks. The Journal reported that during a retreat, central bank"researchers brainstormed about possible ways the Fed could spur spending, such as adding a magnetic strip to dollar bills that would cause their value to drop the longer they stayed in one's wallet."
Most investors probably don't spend as much time thinking about deflation as Fed officials do. The time may be approaching when they will wish they had.
