Conservative Media!

See the post where I didn't answer this question for my answer to this question.[/quote]

Just to save us all some time...

The question wasn't addressed to you, but since you've non-answered it, my work is done here.

That's what I thought. Thanks for playing.

Since skin has taken it upon himself to (A) play "FTFY" with people's posts and (B) provide reams of non-answers that interfere with real discourse, you're right...it is a game. And since you're willing to duck out so easily, the idea that you'd actually want an answer is suspect.

So you and skin can hold each other's willies for the rest of the afternoon. Enjoy.

Hey, real interest rates of negative 1.5% to 0% are runaway high rates, and expected inflation between 2% and 2.5% as indicated by the spread between fixed rate bonds and inflation protected bonds is sky high! The market has spoken and produced these numbers, conservative dogma says that current conditions must absolutely produce high interest rates and inflation rates, therefore those numbers are high.

Also, too, Japan does not exist in the conservative world.
