Kyle Bass on European Debt Restructuring
The most important point of this video comes between 5:15 and 6:00.
The more important point from the point of energy is this:
There is NO way that oil production can grow at the speed required by the world credit market interest rate payments to be covered by real (non-financial) economic growth.
As Jim Puplava put it: Brent oil barrel price is the new global and automatically rising federal funds rate. It will cut off all economic growth every time it goes above $120-$140 / barrel (in c. 2008 dollars, as you have to keep inflation in mind).
The world economy is toast. There is no way around it.
No amount of extra credit can solve this.
Only debt restructuring (i.e. default) will solve the economic issue.
The limited flow rate of energy guarantees that no other options is available.
And the more this issue is pushed into the future with temporary emergency measures, the bigger the debt that has to be written down will be and the faster the oil flow rate decline will be (it's increasing day by day).
And thus, harder the landing.
Brace yourself for impact in this slow-motion train wreck and try to position yourself to the last cart on the train.
