| #9 GLEN BECK > POTUS BAMMER'S OBAMACARE + ECON STIMULUS WILL ONLY INCREASE THE SIZE + LIABILITIES OF THE FED, NOT REDUCE THEM, hence increases the risk/danger of per se US NATIONAL COLLAPSE??? |

| #8 IIRC GLEN BECK SHOW [Fox] > I believe His Glenn-ness argued that, due to POTUS FDR's Depression-era Socialist economic polices + for WW2 per se, YEAR 1944 > DESPITE CLEAR TREND TOWARDS ABSOLUTE US-ALLIED MIL VICTORY AGZ NAZI GERMANY + JAPAN, THE US DEBT-TO-GDP ECON RATIO FOR 1946 WAS CALCULATED TO RISE TO BE AS HIGH AS 146% OF GDP, IFF NOT HIGHER, WHICH NEARLY ALL US GOVT + ACADEMIC PERTS PERTS ARGUED WOULD INEVITABLY INDUCE A US NATIONAL COLLAPSE ON OR BEFORE 1950 UNLESS US GOVT SPENDING + DEFICITS WERE BROUGHT IMMEDIATELY UNDER CONTROL. IOW, the US would had militarily won WW2 but collapsed in utter national econ ruin on or before 1950. a mere five years after said victory. Which in turn is why His Glenn-ness argued ALL AMERICA SHOULD THANK GOD THAT THE US GOP-RIGHT WON THE MORE IMPORTANT US CONGRESS ELEX IN 1944, NOT THE PRESIDENCY AGZ POTUS FDR [or even POTUS Truman?]. Slowly but surely the GOP-Right won WW2 in 1945 while simultan beginning THE DOWNSIZING, DEMOBILIZATION + PRIVATIZATION, OF POTUS ROOSEVELT'S MASSIVELY OVER-SIZED 1930's-1945 US GOVT, which resulted in the Boom-N-Prosperity Years that was the EISENHOWER ERA = 1950's. |

| #6 Arthur laffer's take on the debt ceiling (should be called target) in today's WSG. A Price for Raising the Debt Ceiling Republicans should attach provisions repealing the worst aspects of ObamaCare and financial reform to spending that the president absolutely needs |

| #2 Treasury Secretary Geithner says in letter to Congress US may go into default..now. Just putting off the issue to another day...kicking the can down the road... Does he have a viable solution that doesn't eventually result in default? |
