Total Accumulated Liabilities
Flat Out Broke
Illinois is in serious fiscal trouble. Unpaid bills will hit about $10.5
billion later this year, counting unpaid lotto winners and state university
bills.
Lotto is a small problem overall, yet symbolic of the mess the state is in.
Because Illinois has no current budget, the state does not pay lotto winners
. Instead it sends the winners IOUs. Yesterday, two Illinois lottery winner... 阅读全帖 |

Your Share of Uncle Sam's Debt: $534,000

The gap between the money Washington takes into its coffers to pay its IOUs
and what it actually owes on those IOUs is taking on Grand-Canyonesque
proportions, with unfunded liabilities hovering around $62 trillion,
according to a USA Today analysis.
Yes, trillions, and trillions. And that breaks down to a staggering $534,000

meaning the Greek Government has no EUROs to pay the parasites, untill more
benefit cuts and promise to reduce budget deficit to 3%. Maybe they can try
paying out IOUs like the Lazy People's Republic of California. Instead of
cutting 50, they can print and give out 5mn or 5bn IOUs per parasite, see
what they can buy with it. Are you willing to have RMB 50, or Greek IOU 5bn(

BofA customers who want to cash them in. But the bank set a cutoff
date of July 10.
On Thursday, other big banks including Chase, Wells Fargo & Co.
and Union Bank followed BofA's lead, saying they'll cash the IOUs
from customers only through July 10.

发帖数: 4797 | 7 I think the Controller's spokesman already said IOUs are not securities ...
If notarization is required, it means you have to collect IOUs with more
physical restraints. Usually, state employees, particularly those living
check by check, won't have big IOU bills. I think they are deep discounted
IOU source. Small business would ask more than what we can offer, right?

Trump said he would erase America's debt in 8 years. It's now bigger than

As a candidate, Donald Trump promised to get rid of the entire national debt
“over a period of eight years.” When this promise was made, the national
debt stood at $19 trillion; it has since risen to $21.7 trillion. In the

There are two metal markets: LME and CRIMEX. LME is a physical market.
CRIMEX is mostly for paper rigging.
The conspiracy theory basically says China plays the paper game @CRIMEX
to short it down and then loads the physical silver at LME. When it's
time to honor the CRIMEX shorts, China offers IOUs from JPMorgue as
payment and tell the buyers to get silver from JPM. |
