The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.Tue, 26 May 2009 13:57:40 +0000

Yes on both points. When the optimistic forcast blows way past the “budget” you don’t even want to consider the other data points. As to the debt, while debt placement is increasing it is still way below “normal” levels. When it returns to that level and has to compete with the government needs it will make Jimmy Carter’s 18% home mortgages something to be hoped for.

The increase in debt for private business is a bit limited. I pointed out last week that a lot of funds, both private “hedge” and public trust, are avoiding companies that are either under the thumb of TARP or with significant unfunded liabilities.
