What Happens When a State Goes Bankrupt?

[Ben]

I grew-up in your current fiefdom (go Chargers!). 

I accept your kind benevolence, and will grant you all of the wine you can drink from the Santa Ynez!

Then we have a treaty! :)

First, give it back to the Indians and Mexicans....along with the debt; and pat ourselves on the back for being such a noble minded people...better than Europeans.  Next, liberate the less-than-brown people with an army of outsourced/rightsized non- Indian (non-dot) people. Then, establish a peacekeeping force for the next 50 years.  Careful though -just "help" them, by helping them pick the right leaders and buying everything they produce... but not actually owning the place.

The gun is good. The Prius is evil.

See? We agree on stuff once in a while. Scary as that may be.
