shf indeed!
Export to whom?
My fear, fwiw, is $40T is an unsolvable problem. All the poles are on the left-hand of the plane to borrow a really old engineering joke. So we're faced with deflation or hyperinflation, there is no in between. Conventional wisdom is that deflation can't happen. The Fed/TPTB won't allow it.
However, I've never seen everyone make the same bet and have it pay-out. There's no one left to pay it, which is back to the export solution. Export, to whom?
