Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace o Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the chickens come home to roast... Unbelievable we have been this stupid. ( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers.

Cenk says trumpers are lunatics... yeah, I think that is an accurate description.

It was the best of times when the first US president, George Washington confessed “I cannot tell a lie.” and towards the end of his life uttered, “still I hope I will always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles – the character of an honest man.”
It was the worst of times when the latest president, elected by a minority, was incabible of telling the truth..to the extent that if subjected to a lie detector it would self-destruct. He would accuse the lie

DeleteUnfortunately his 30 something % supporters seem to be afflicted with the same intellectual mind eating virus that their hero is terminally suffering from.
A sad and dangerous day that we are presently living in.
Sorry for being off topic, but I just heard that dirty trickster and Trump BFF, Roger Stone, has been slapped with an all-encompassing gag order by the judge overseeing his case and who Stone placed, in a Tweet, a crosshair image next to her head. Stone has never been held to account for his slimey behavior until now. He can think about what's ahead for him while he's in jail. Good for Judge Berman-Jackson.
