“To paraphrase Hemingway, people go broke slowly and then all at once. We've been slowly going broke for years, but now it's happening all at once as the world's capital markets are demanding action from us, yet Obama assumes we'll just go borrow another cup of sugar from some increasingly impatient neighbor.

I never got the fact that you go next door and borrow a cup of coffee, and the zero changes to nine. For the longest time, I didn't know how to do it.

So for the longest time, I thought that was a conspiracy.” KnowsHas BeensStillsFactsSchoolNextKnow HowDoorsTaughtOne DayCoffeeNineCupsJust OneThis DayAffectedZeroConspiracyCoffee CupMinus Author:Rich Fulcher
