Now Here's A Scam: US Senate

The Market Ticker
VERBATIM POST
==================

From the Twitter rumor mill: If you're a Senator and vote NO on the debt bill, you're ineligible for the "super-committee."

So if you, in good conscience, cannot permit a bankrupt entity to borrow even more money, then you can't be part of the solution to going more bankrupt.

And let's be clear about this: There's no bank in the world that would lend to a private person or institution that had a total debt of some seven times it's gross revenue.

(Hint: Go try to get a mortgage with that sort of debt profile. You'll get laughed out of the building - well, you will now. In 2005 with an OptionARM? No problem - just go "NINJA". Of course we know how that ended, right?)
