“What happens when they figure out that there aren’t enough assets in the world to settle all of the outstanding debt??”


They already know there isn’t. What is happening now is no doubt just to keep the system afloat through the elections. Then all bets are off.

Isn't the best (but most painful) thing just to let what needs to happen happen so that then we can begin to rebuild? Don't you think all these attempts to prop something that is broken up will only prolong the inevitable?

It’s not a liquidity problem; it’s a solvency problem.

Every financial institution is insolvent and has been for over a year.
