A brush with governmental bankruptcy

Obama-Discusses-the-Talks-to-Avoid-a-Government-Default.jpg

As Washington dithers over whether the federal government should default on its debt obligations, it is helpful to remember that New York City faced the same problem a generation ago.

This Financial Times video provides an excellent overview of the background and implications of that financial crisis.

Remember the government’s fear mongers from 2008?

This is not rocket science.

  1. President O. is owned by the same financial interests as the politicians led by Boehner; there
    differences are thus minor when it comes to taxes
    and ending medicare, medicaid, and social security –
    which, btw are paid for by workers. It may sound
    sexy to certain voters to call those “entitlements”,
    but they aren’t.
