#1 With almost every country, state/province and city in the world trying to spend their way to prosperity.... makes me wonder what will happen when the whole world realizes it is in debt up to its eyeballs and no way to get out from under it and confidence in the governments and financial institutions completely fail.

#5 Moody’s has now downgraded the city of Chicago’s bonds to a rating of Slightly Less Valuable Than Gum Wrappers. (From the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune.)

Heading towards Detroit realm. Too many grifters and takers sucking off the public teet. Too many crooked politicians--but then I repeat myself.

#6 coinciding with the formal announcement of the Barack Obama Honey Bucket and Presidential Library being built there (on public property) it all makes sense.....

#11 USN, Ret. I believe everything you say.
