“Along with the headline risks of recession, trade wars, political dysfunction, and more, there’s another risk, perhaps greater than all the others, that we used to talk about but don’t anymore. Remember the national debt and budget deficit? Well, those sums are far larger – and more dangerous – than in the ‘old’ days when we used to talk about them.”

USAGOLD note:  The forgotten crisis?  Forgotten, indeed.  Especially in an election year when both parties just as soon pretend it wasn’t so.  The post immediately below, however, alludes to knock-on effects that few are thinking about.
