Divide Et Impera

The same way it works for kids going to college and graduating with $80,000 in debt so that they can get that six-figure job. The same way it works for a start up business that runs in the red for the first two years thanks to debts related to capital (PPE) and start up costs....

True DEI but there are hard limits imposed on us that limit the overall damage should we fail. I don't see any limits (i.e. raising taxes, cutting spending, etc) being seriously considered by our government.

How much $$ are we the taxpayer willing to pay? The article raises a few interesting methods that may fix the problem, but do we collectively have the tolerance?

Denninger had a few interesting methods too.
