Enough of the print moar money. It's time we defaulted, so the fed, treasury sec and the GOV finally take budgets and their deficits seriously and not act like the GOV is living like a trust fund kid where mommy and daddy (taxpayers and foreign investors) ensure the funds keep flowing.
If Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton could swing it during hard times then Gov has no excuse not to be able to do it now.
