A Possible Credit Crunch
Americans are having a problem with the payment of mortgages, credit cards, etc……it is a credit crunch. But there is a bigger problem looming on the horizon. This does not mean that a person’s problems are not important just that the other could be diasterous to ALL Americans.
we all know about the war, right? This is the first time since the Revolutionary War that the US has financed totally on credit. At the beginning of the war the US was already operating in a deficit and basically had to borrow money to wage its war.
From the beginning the US had to borrow monies but from where? Here is the “good” news–40% of the funds for the war were loaned to the US by China. This will not happen, but what if that marker is called in? What will it do to the US? This is not the way to run a country!

About
Info Ink was a company I started back in the Compuserve days to provide information to the world. Since the web took off the company was not as valuable as it had been. i decided to rename my blog in memory of my old company.
I am an old fart that has been doing the political thing for 40+ years. I have been a radical, convention delegate, lecturer, teacher, labor activist, political activist and a political writer. And I have yet to see this system work the way it is suppose to from the beginning.
“Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of Ignorance”
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”– Einstein– Kinda like voting!
“If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.” Emma Goldman
“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.”–John Stuart Mill
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H. L. Mencken
