1. Not true.

Because the treasury is essentially insolvent and we show no will to change that.

Which means this nation will not receive a dime of investment money that would create jobs, not a dime from the greedy, unpatriotic rich who are thriving...for now...on our induced insolvency.

But the supermarkets will keep operating.
