I do hope that the Democrat leadership in the Senate will come to their senses - NOW!!! This needs to be stopped, voluntarily, or else, the Chinese will stop it for us, and if not, well heck, even the UN is calling for an end to the use of the US dollar!!!

Senate must raise debt ceiling above $12T - TheHill.com

China alarmed by US money printing - Telegraph

UN wants new global currency to replace dollar - Telegraph

As discussed, the Californication of the U.S. will crop up right in the middle of the health reform vote which is not helpful to Obama's world view.

Loved the part in the link where it said that if the debt limit was not raised the U.S would start defaulting in mid-October. Hmmmm. Wouldnt that be like five weeks away? Talk about being sleepless in Beijing.

Border Security: There is no way around it. Even complete amnesty will not do anything to keep the growing insurrection in Mexico - in Mexico. Two totally different issues.

You are so right!

I still believe that our debtors will determine whether we have any kind of health care 'reform'. At this point, it doesn't look pretty.

"The US spends tomorrow's money today," he said. "We Chinese spend today's money tomorrow. That's why we have this financial crisis."
Quote from the same second article, that's why we're screwed. In my opinion, this U.S. philosophy really took off in my grandparent's era from around the 1930's on and has never quit. That generation did alot to build the infastructure of this country, but they did most of it with borrowed money and we've never really gotten out from under it since that time.
