Is the impending default really that horrible. I remember Y2K and how the world was going to end, zip. The news media may not be the best source of information about this sort of thing, my experience with TV news was such that they take a story and focus on one aspect. If there's one 1/20th of a field too wet during rainy spell they send a camera crew and reporter to that spot and portray it as a disaster. Maybe this default isn't near the big deal that people educated in journalism make it to be. |
