The US and most of the rest of the world have had negative real after tax interest rates for decades and the result has been:
The 1987, 2000 and 2008 crashes in the stock market.
The 1991 and 2006 crashes in the Real Estate Market.
And the current crash in commodities, primarily in the ongoing crash of oil.
.So, prior to the election a minimum of $0,5 trillion in commercial bonds will be written off in the bond market just in the oil patch.
The Muni market started it's crash with PR already IL will either put together a plan to avoid bond default or it won't. Then there is the problem that the plan will most likely backfire with massive capital flight. That will trigger bankruptcy as will whiffing the ball on putting together a plan.
This is a political season so there will be a massive effort to bandage over the problem and put the blame on the other party. But my question is that even possible?
