I agree with most of what you said except for this which is the Trump axiom, if you own the bank a million you're in trouble, if you owe them a billion they're in trouble. While that's true, it's only true if the bank is a single entity which, in this case, it's not: we've got multiple lenders and more and more every day. All with a stake in the US, sure, but not so much the US as *its assets*. In many ways this is like bankruptcy where the lenders all gather to decide the fate of the debtors assets. Another good example might be the fall of LTCM. All the stakeholders came together and bailed out LTCM, but it be looooong gone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:250976 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
