Pretty much on the ball. The projected borrowing of developed nations wildly exceeds the funds available. If you can't borrow, you print, but then, what do the people who already own your debt do?

They sell.

I'm really quite surprised the markets haven't seen through this scenario yet..

Uncle Tom,

Are you expecting an economic meltdown proper anytime soon?
