Ireland Is the 'New Greece'; Japan and U.S. Next in Line for "Catastrophe", Pento Says
A close second behind Japan in the race to a debt crisis is the U.S., Pento concludes. "We have negative real interest rates, inflation that is growing, debt that is soaring, and a dollar that is chronically weak." That equation adds up to U.S. debt situation that is "untenable."

And, I’ve been wrong,” he says. “It just means when the bubble bursts, it will be a catastrophe."
