The Treasury Secretary on How Unstable U.S. Government Finances Are

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew made the following statement during remarks today before the Economic Club of Washington D.C.:
[W]e are relying on investors from all over the world to continue to hold U.S. bonds.  Every Thursday, we roll-over approximately $100 billion in U.S. bills.  If U.S. bond holders decided that they wanted to be repaid rather than continuing to roll-over their investments, we could unexpectedly dissipate our entire cash balance.

  2. They openly admit they're running a debt-based ponzi scheme. People just don't care. They're too stupid.
