....Moving right along here.....

Just out of curiosity (and my inability to do the fiscal fandango) how far could that ballooning debt be inflated before it goes 'KaBoom!' and splatters all of us
all over the place? Has anyone calculated that yet? Or is America "too big to fail" like those bailed-out banks that are now richer than ever? Could we declare bankruptcy and pay off everybody at ten cents on the old Rasbucknik, and start
off bigger and better than ever? If that works in retail, why not in government?
Have we examined all the ways there are to skin that cat without getting clawed to shreds? If we default on those loans, could someone in Beijing repossess Miss America? Would they accept Ryan Seacrest instead? (I never liked him anyway!)
