The Cheddar Revolution

Jim Rogers was warning about civil unrest in the US due to collapsing social safety nets as early as 2008.

What makes you think muni's will fail? Seems to me as if union/public employees will take the hit, and States will pay their creditors back.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

No Muni will fail on a large scale because the Federal govt won't allow it

Might prove to be a good buying opportunity.
