You are laughing now, but FEMA pictures on the internet prove I am right.

Have fun when the box car stops, they force you into a shoot and use a pneumatic cow poke on your brain.

Constiutionally , the states in the US cannot default. The last time a state defaulted was Arkansas and in the end it was the federal government ( the taxpayer) that bailed them out

Expect a repeat of this next time. The problem this time was Arkansas was an exception to the rest of the states at the time

This time most states are in the same straights as Arkansas back then and the federal government is in a lot worse shape financially then back then


EDIT: What you are going to see is what you are seeing now in cities in trouble like Detroit
