Mike Hendren — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:47:57 +0000

I'm not a broker. I'm no financial guru. But I can read the writing on the wall. I try to see the forest beyond the trees. But I'm baffled, I must say. I thought all the urgency to raise the debt ceiling and avert a default (which is going to happen, sooner or later; sorry Timmy Geitner) was to stop this very thing from happening: wetting down what little confidence there was and bringing the market down again
