[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 446674, member: 4264"] MWM, I try to follow things like this as much as possible but admit that I sometimes have a lack of understanding of other countries government, policies, individual specific issues etc. I've read a lot on this but obviously I'm no comparison of knowledge even compared to a average american citizen who hasn't paid much attention at all, simply due to geography. Maybe you can answer what you think on something S/O and I have been pondering tonight. So lets say the US govt raises the debt ceiling etc and avoids a Aug 2 shutdown and dodges a imminent financial meltdown, won't it just reoccur next time the US is required to make debt repayments on schedule and meet new budgets in individual states that occur yearly etc? Is raising the debt ceiling a practical solution to stabilize things long enough to fix this situation away from the brink? Or is it just a incredibly temporary solution and will reoccur in 4 months or 6 months or whatever? We don't know enough to discuss it (S/O and I) and are incredibly curious. We're about to google it and check it out but we'd love opinions of board members, always a great wealth of info! [/QUOTE]
