World Debt Crisis

World debt crisis: eight reasons you should care

1. Because it will impact your neighborhood tool-and-die maker.

2. Because it could affect things at the bank window – again.

3. because your portfolio will rise and fall like the bay of fundy.

4. Because it could affect how the world deals with that mercurial North Koreanfellow, Kim Jong-Il.

5. Because if it happens to them, it can happen to us.

6. Because no easy solutions to the crisis exist that won't affect jobs and possibly mortgage rates.

7. Because the U.S. approach to the problem may increase your tax bill and lower your Social Security check.

8. Because you'll be able to say 'i told you so.'

The entire article is well worth the read.

Meanwhile, advancing and retreating tides and the associated waves have eroded the base of the rocks at a faster rate than the tops, resulting in their unusual shapes.
