Historically, the increase in .gov bailout, military and entitlement spending, to compensate for liquidity deflation, at this point in the "inflation-deflation" cycle, has resulted in increased demand and competition for a contracting credit supply.

This increased demand has driven interest rates on private sector and .gov debt to very high levels.

Eventually the private sector is starved for credit and commerce collapses.

The increased .gov deficit spending is brought to a halt when tax cash flow from the private sector reverses.

The liquidity contraction spiral then resumes, interest rates fall, and both the private sector and .gov fall into economic depression.
