UNDERSTANDING US DEAD LIMIT?

Submitted by Admin on

With only ten days before US government "dead" limit deadline, stubborn politicians in Washington DC are beginning to produce global ripples of anxiety, which could trigger worldwide financial heart attacks.

The US could default on a portion of its government debt and set off global financial troubles thereby undercutting various fragile economic recoveries.

A few short years following the financial crisis, which spread a deep global recession, too many people around the world are about to feel collateral damage.

The whole world is watching this debt ceiling battle, as those damn Yankees could trigger another crisis throughout financial global markets.

USA borrows as much as $16.699 trillion. The amount was raised in 2011 following the last threatened government shutdown by $2.1 trillion, with $1.2 trillion of that amount reportedly spent last January. Meanwhile, US debt grows every second by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE

Affordable Healthcare is so needed, wanted, desired ...

A website to handle the load of everyone who wants healthcare is difficult to imagine.

If I live in NYC lets say and everyone flushed their toilet at the same time things might not go so smoothly. In a single 50 story building people on lower floors would not be happy. There is no infrastructure could handle the load. In reality there are vents in the toilet lines that would blow sewage out of the side of the buildings. Yuk.

NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS?

Submitted by Admin on

Over the past few years, political leaders have gone out of their way to try to create fear in the markets, by manipulating finances and making others bend. And every year international investors pay for it.

The US debt has grown to $18 trillion, and there’s not much to show for it. There is too much conflict, while the unemployment problem continues to be unacceptable.

US debt-ceiling fights and a fiscal cliff fiasco return every year like Christmas, with little reason to be joyous.
