"A default would be a 10 on the Richter Scale," says LaVorgna.

It would probably lead to a downgrade in US credit. I dont know what happens from there. What I do know is that the dollar is being deliberately destroyed for the sake of world economics since it is currently the world's reserve currency. The removal of the dollar would allow a world currency to be ushered in.

The U.S. Treasury warned Thursday that a default "has the potential to be catastrophic." It said it could spark a financial crisis and recession that "could echo the events of 2008 or worse."

After the catastrophe and in a post-America world, the new currency would benefit the entire globe.

"There is a 0% chance that the U.S. will default," Parker says.

True, if anti-americanism wasn't so prevalent. Socialism can't take off unless the lone superpower, which happens to be capitalist, is removed from the equation.

The U.S. Treasury said it will be virtually out of cash on Oct. 17.

And time maybe.

"A default would be unprecedented and has the potential to be catastrophic," according to Treasury. "Credit markets could freeze. The value of the U.S. dollar could plummet. U.S. interest rates could skyrocket. The negative spillovers could reverberate around the world. And there might be a financial crisis and recession that could echo the events of 2008 or worse."

"As reckless as a government shutdown is ... an economic shutdown that results from default would be dramatically worse," Obama said during an appearance at a construction company in Rockville, Md.

Wow, Bo on a roll, two truths in a row.

Dang, we must be nearing the end when the AC resorts to telling the truth.

Obama spoke less than an hour after the Treasury Department issued a report saying that a default could plunge the nation into a recession worse than the near-meltdown of the financial system in 2008.

Told by a CNBC interview that Wall Street is "pretty calm" about the government shutdown and political infighting, Obama said: "I think this time is different -- I think they should be concerned."

Why would Bo try to scare people? Maybe he's not. Maybe he's telling the truth for once.

Obama cited concern about possible Republican objections to an increase in the debt ceiling, leading to a government default. While it's "not unusual for Democrats and Republicans to disagree," Obama also said that "when you have a situation in which a faction is willing potentially to default on U.S. government obligations, then we are in trouble."

A DEFAULT would have serious economic repercussions worldwide.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/10/01/treasury-debt-limit-extraordinary-measures-lew/2905247/

Since May, Lew has undertaken a number of actions, known as "extraordinary measures," to keep under the debt limit set by law. They include delayed pension fund payments. Tuesday's announcement said Treasury has taken the final measures at its disposal, including drawing down a $23 billion emergency fund meant to stabilize U.S. currency, and making a $9 billion debt swap.

"There are no other legal and prudent options to extend the nation's borrowing authority," Lew said.

Neither action will extend the Oct. 17 date, when the Treasury's daily balance is projected to be $30 billion. At that point, the government would only be able to pay as many bills as it has daily tax receipts.

The balloon just keeps getting bigger and bigger...and when it pops...the mighty dollar will take a knockout blow.

Some are pointing to Old Testament passages that predict the destruction of Damascus and a civil war in Egypt.

 Isaiah 17:1

[ A Prophecy Against Damascus ] A prophecy against Damascus: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

 

26. Jeremiah 49:23
    [ A Message About Damascus ] Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled like the restless sea.
    Jeremiah 49:22-24 (in Context) Jeremiah 49 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
27. Jeremiah 49:24
    Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee and panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her, pain like that of a woman in labor.
    Jeremiah 49:23-25 (in Context) Jeremiah 49 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
28. Jeremiah 49:27
    “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.”
     
    26. Amos 1:3
        [ Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors ] This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Damascus, even for four, I will not relent. Because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth,
        Amos 1:2-4 (in Context) Amos 1 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
    27. Amos 1:5
        I will break down the gate of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,” says the Lord
         
        Zechariah 9:1

        [ Judgment on Israel’s Enemies ] A prophecy: The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak and will come to rest on Damascus— for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord—

         

        Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos and Zechariah had words against Damascus. It would be interesting to see if all four were living at the same time...

Ahead of the US strike on Syria, the Israeli security cabinet in special session Wednesday, Aug. 28, ordered the partial mobilization of select, qualitative IDF reserve forces: Rocket, Air Force, missile interception, Home Defense command and intelligence units. Anti-missile Arrow, Patriot and Iron Dome systems were spread out more widely than ever before across the country. US and Syria wound up last military preparations for the US strike. Barring last-minute hold-ups, debkafile’s military sources report the American operation is scheduled to start Friday night, early Saturday Aug. 30-31.

But analysts warned that if the Western attack on Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians was aimed at striking the Syrian army or toppling the regime of President Bashar Assad, this would prompt a retaliation from Iran and Hezbollah against Israel.

“In the event of a qualitative [Western military] strike that aims to change the balance of power in Syria, Hezbollah will fight on various fronts,” the senior source said.

“A large-scale Western strike on Syria will plunge Lebanon virtually and immediately into the inferno of a war with Israel,” the source said, clearly referring to the possibility of Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel.

“However, if the Western attack is limited to certain targets in Syria, then, Hezbollah will not intervene,” the source added.

Clouds of war are gathering over Syria amid signs that Western powers could attack the strife-torn country within days.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said U.S. forces in the region were “ready to go,” as Washington and its European and Middle Eastern partners honed plans to punish Assad for a chemical attack last week that killed hundreds of civilians in eastern Ghouta outside Damascus.

"Therefore, if the U.S. or any Western nation launches a military campaign against Syria, then Israel will find itself under an extensive Syrian attack." 

"The Middle East will become engulfed in never-ending flames if Israel and the United States use chemical weapons as a pretext for their aggressions. We won't sit with our arms crossed while aggression against Syria becomes dangerous, affecting the security of the whole world, not just the Middle East. It's possible to say unambiguously that a process of war against Syria could lead to an all-out world war. The responsibility for that will rest on the U.S. and the Zionist entity's shoulders."  

"We want to strongly warn against any military attack in Syria. There will definitely be perilous consequences for the region," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi told a news conference. "These complications and consequences will not be restricted to Syria. It will engulf the whole region."
