Dan White: The economic return of Iceland has proved that the joke was on us
Not only did I forecast the collapse of the Icelandic bubble due to its obscene 100 x leverage ratios in their banking system, I also forecasted Iceland's subsequent recovery due to their default from debt obligations to British and Dutch banks. While painful and inflationary for several years, default is necessary to cleanse out the excesses--and to re-emerge from the other side. Iceland traded in decades of financial chaos and economic stagnation, and instead took their bitter medicine to recover within five years. By stiffing their creditors, they cleared the toxic debt from their previously impaired balance sheets.
This Irish author correctly chronicles why Iceland and Ireland have had two very different outcomes. Despite Ireland's bail out, they are even more indebted to banks, and have only extended and exacerbated their pain. The neo-Keynesian solution of piling new debt on top of old debt will end in tears for the developed world--for decades.

Tim Geithner Releases Latest Mutual Assured Destruction Threat: Says "Debt Ceiling To Be Breached No Later Than May 16"
Wait a minute, I thought Turbo Tax Timmy Geithner said the US would never default on its debt obligations, that it was "unthinkable"?

Yet, this latest rant by the Treasury Secretary:

"The longer Congress fails to act, the more we risk that investors here and around the world will lose confidence in our ability to meet our commitments and our obligations. If Congress does not act by May 16, I will take all measures available to me to give Congress additional time to act and to protect the creditworthiness of the country....Defaulting on legal obligations of the United States would lead to sharply higher interest rates and borrowing costs, declining home values and reduced retirement savings for Americans. Default would cause a financial crisis potentially more severe than the crisis from which we are only now starting to recover....defaulting on legal obligations of the United States would lead to sharply higher interest rates and borrowing costs, declining home values and reduced retirement savings for Americans. Default would cause a financial crisis potentially more severe than the crisis from which we are only now starting to recover. Nor is it possible to avoid raising the debt limit by cutting spending or raising taxes. Because of the magnitude of past commitments by Congress, immediate cuts in spending or tax increases cannot make the necessary cash available. In order to avoid an increase in the debt limit, Congress would need to eliminate annual deficits immediately. "
