Failure by Congress to raise the U.S. debt limit "could plunge the world economy back into recession," President Barack Obama declared Friday, and he acknowledged that he must compromise on spending with Republicans who control the House to avoid such a crisis.
"I think he's absolutely right that it's not going to happen without some spending cuts," the president told The Associated Press in an interview in his hometown, agreeing with House Speaker John Boehner's assessment.

Don't blame President Obama, he's just relaying the words of the Robber Barons at the central bank.
Let's face it, we are to owe them forever, for everything, without end, and never - ever - get out of the red.
But hey, are helping us towards that end...... more wars anyone? There's plenty to go around, and they'll be only to happy to make more.....

Economic collapse gives us a chance to free ourselves from the shackles of debt slavery. I vote for the collapse.
