Above and beyond the terrible news from Main Street (such as unemployment, weak retail, and declining shipping and manufacturing), several key technical indicators are worsening again, even after the government spent trillions on various bailouts:
The Financial Times argues that TIPS rates point towards protracted deflation. More and more of the leading economists and analysts (such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs) are beginning to agree to varying degrees.
