The only reason we will not actually go bankrupt is that we control the printing presses for the dollar. The real question isn't whether we will go bankrupt, but when- not if - the international banking community and our other sovereign debt holders (I'm looking at you, China and Japan) will refuse to finance our debt without significant structural changes in US budgets. That day will be a de facto bankruptcy re-organization for our country, and it could happen within a few years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:326177 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
