Quote - I think China recently started telling its banks to stop lending the US money. I'm not sure if they started again or not.
Quote - How much deeper do we want to get in debt?
The people don't want anymore debt I think. Both isles of congress are probably thinking there is a magical fairy fund that will suddenly appear to cover any amount of borrowing they do.
I do hope they have cut us off, It's too big a bargaining chip in our political system when we owe them so much and continue to rely on them to finance us.
I don't want any more debt, and am willing to tighten my belt and pay higher taxes or whatever it takes, but.... I WANT RESULTS!!!!... not just promises.
Life is hard, but what a ride.
