You got me thinking something (again) that many of us probably have wondered at one point or another: Why the hell can't the government conduct itself like everybody else - to live within it's means instead of charging everything on credit?

It's like a giant snowball rolling downhill. It just gets bigger, and bigger. This can't go on forever.

They only do this to drive stock prices down so they can buy short and sell long.
It's all about the Benjamins and how they can tuck obscene amounts of them in their pockets by doing nothing.

Nipple twists for the lot of them!

Don't forget to save your work before shutting down.

Now to some serious discussion

If USA goes bankruptcy it will hit the International economy very hard. There's no one that can say what's going to happen, except it will be some kind of cascade of effect.

Give it a few weeks. Then they'll debate the budget ceiling again. Judging by current events, we should have a regular 3 ring circus in mid October. Wholesome family entertainment for all.

Yep, they can print more non value money, increase the debt limit again and the dollar is devalued further.

They could all drop dead and rot in hell, the entire lot of them.
