It's Hello 18 Trillion Dollars in Debt, give or take, then take some more, even taking what doesn't belong to you, Thing

Dear America,

Due to unforeseen cataclysmic conditions, this blog is on shutdown until a deal can be reached between parties  (it's a close call between a civilized tea party, pity party, and the ever so popular -- over-the-hill/out to pasture/pass the moonshine party); don't fret though -- once little old G thing can decide what to wear it will be all over.  But until then, ponder this...

Just how does it feel --
to go from 17 Trillion in debt yesterday...

to $17.986 Trillion, sans entitlements and unfunded liabilities, today?  To the bean counters in the back row, can we get a quick interest tabulation on that, please?


Oh yes, there is plenty more to say,
but it will have to wait until a better day.

Make it a Good Day, G
