    Crazy talk. Go tell the 400 redundant Amtrak employees not to worry because inflation will lighten their debt-load.

    Madness. Inflationary expectations despite us having already slipped in to the deflationary vortex.

    All this talk of inflation/devaluation reminds me of this childhood memory. Worth a watch if any video copies can be tracked down, or definitely a read. Chilling stuff and could be relevant again very soon.

    A fantastic kid's book and was made into a TV servies and shown in the early 80s in the kids slot near teatime. Compared to the dumbed down rubbish they feed kids these days it really stands out. Actually, it's streets ahead of most modern adult drama.

    Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.
