It doesn't really matter any more. The US government's total debt has reached a point where it's impossible to pay back without devaluing the dollar. Given this, it's an easy choice to throw away more money in order to try and soften the coming collapse.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
