TR, I would be interested in your take on Timmy G's current begging to increase uncle sam's debt limit. Clearly, this needs to happen, but this will have tigger some saber rattling about a potential downgrade for the US. At what point does the Fed just say F it and try to inflate our way out of this?

Is that rob in the picture with the trillion dollars?

Danimal said...

the million looks so small. what does $350 look like? or better yet, a big negative number which i think would better represent the financial situation many here are in

Clarence said...

Danimal, it's like you have a window into my brain. And my bank account. (which, at this point, I only keep for the free lollipops.)

You can put a pic of me in the fetal position next to the negative pictorial representation.
