Why would debt limits be a problem for the US but not for smaller countries that have proportionally more debt than the US? Japan or Barbados, for instance.hover11 wrote:With that note let's stop raising the debt ceiling and watch the house of cards fall apart....
Chronology
Events that have been treated as evidence of a curse include:
Kennedy deaths
August 12, 1944 – Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. died when the BQ-8 aircraft he was piloting accidentally exploded over East Suffolk, England. (A BQ-8 was a B-24 Liberator converted into a radio-controlled flying bomb. For more information, see Project Anvil.)[10]
September 9, 1944 – William Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington, newlywed husband of Kathleen Kennedy was fatally shot by a German sniper while leading his company near Heppen, Belgium.[11]
May 13, 1948 – Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy (formally known as Kathleen Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington) died in a plane crash in France.[4][5][6][12]
August 9, 1963 – Patrick Bouvier Kennedy died of infant respiratory distress syndrome two days after his premature birth on August 7 in Otis Air Force Base, Massachusetts (the 20th anniversary of his father's rescue after the sinking of PT-109).
November 22, 1963 – U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, by Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was shot dead by Jack Ruby two days later. In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin. However, in 1979, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy and that Oswald did not act alone.[13]
June 5, 1968 – United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy was shot by Sirhan Sirhan in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on the night of his victory in the California Democratic presidential primary; Robert died the following morning.[4][5][6][12]
April 25, 1984 – David A. Kennedy died of a drug overdose in a Palm Beach, Florida hotel room.[4][5][6][14][12] David was twelve years old when he saw his father assassinated on live TV in the family's hotel room. Following a car accident, David began to abuse painkillers and was in and out of detox facilities throughout his youth. On the day of his death, David was in Palm Beach to see his grandmother, who had just had a stroke.[15]
December 31, 1997 – Michael LeMoyne Kennedy died in a skiing accident after crashing into a tree[16] in Aspen, Colorado.[1][4][5][6][14][12]
July 16, 1999 – John F. Kennedy Jr. died when the plane he was piloting crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The crash was attributed to pilot error and spatial disorientation. His wife and sister-in-law were also on board and died.[4][5][6][12]
September 16, 2011 – Kara Kennedy died of a heart attack while exercising in a Washington, D.C. health club. Kara had reportedly suffered from lung cancer nine years earlier, but she had recovered after the removal of part of her right lung.[17]
May 16, 2012 – Mary Richardson Kennedy died by suicide on the grounds of her home in Bedford, Westchester County, New York.[12][18]
August 1, 2019 – Saoirse Kennedy Hill, granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, died of accidental overdose after being found unresponsive at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. According to the toxicology results revealed in the death certificate, Hill had methadone, diazepam, nordiazepam, fluoxetine, norfluoxetine and ethanol in her system at the time of death.[19][20][21]
April 2, 2020 – Maeve Kennedy McKean disappeared with her eight-year-old son, Gideon, during a short canoe trip in the Chesapeake Bay.[22][23] Maeve's body was found by divers four days later.[24][25] Gideon's body was found two days after hers, on April 8.[26][27] Authorities believe Maeve paddled to retrieve her son's ball, leading the wind and current to overturn the canoe.[28]
Homebuyers with good credit scores will soon encounter a costly surprise: a new federal rule forcing them to pay higher mortgage rates and fees to subsidize people with riskier credit ratings who are also in the market to buy houses.
The fee changes will go into effect May 1 as part of the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s push for affordable housing, and they will affect mortgages originating at private banks across the country. The federally backed home mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will enact the loan-level price adjustments, or LLPAs.
Mortgage industry specialists say homebuyers with credit scores of 680 or higher will pay, for example, about $40 per month more on a home loan of $400,000. Homebuyers who make down payments of 15% to 20% will get socked with the largest fees.

Background for those readers that don't know: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are US government programs to support mortgage affordability. They are the biggest US mortgage buyers, but they are not the only US mortgage buyers.Dizzy28 wrote:Sucks to be an American with good credit score or who saved up for a bigger DP.Homebuyers with good credit scores will soon encounter a costly surprise: a new federal rule forcing them to pay higher mortgage rates and fees to subsidize people with riskier credit ratings who are also in the market to buy houses.

Start thinking. Newsmax has been popular among right viewership for the past three years and increasing competition against Fox. What you think is going to happen if the #1 guy on primetime news goes to newsmax?
You elude your own self most of the times adnj, keep to yourself.
