Well that should give confidence to those holding the debt.

The US will simply inflate it's way out of it.

So, there is zero probability of default."

They will simply pay back the debt by diluting the currency-in normal words-theft.

The guy who was on Chris Wallace, said the same thing.

We can never default because we can print money.

He wrote articles defending the Gold Standard, but stated it was not practical.

Destroying the currency with inflation is.

What is funny is that the MSM had these guys on to calm the market, but I am sure investors are more concerned then ever!

That's what they do now.

The only thing is they let the moneychangers garner all the benefit from it, instead of letting the American people do so.

If we can print money to pay the debt, why do we have the debt? Why didn’t we just print money when we needed it? Why are you and I paying taxes? Why not just print the money without you and I working for it?

Heck I bet Jethro Bodine can cipher that and school Mr. Drysdale!
