I think this is an under appreciated comment. Almost all of our market data is predicated on a US government that places a huge emphasis on repaying its debts.

The current government is full of people who think it's clever, rather than short-sighted, to fuck people over.

It's not a joke that our credit ratings as a nation are slipping. It's real risk that those federal bonds may stop paying out.
