      Only for those with the right connections. For the rest of us, that will be an increasing shortage, as debt deleveraging (Mr. Margin as he's called in the stock trading business) continues to suck up available liquidity. Dollars will become more precious for us ordinary citizens and our businesses, even as those dollars race toward their fate of serious devaluation.
      Most folks are good; a few aren't.

          Yeah, I don't think we'll see this this time around:

            They will squeeze the unions first.

              No, first they'll kick the can down the road into January when Wall Street bonuses are paid to see if those revenues "fix" the problem.

              Then they'll raise the "millionaire" ($250K+) marginal income tax rate to match New Jersey (10.75%) just like they do every time NJ raises rates.

              Then they'll appeal to Washington with help from several other near-bankrupt states, and, voila, more treasurys shall be printed and stored at the Fed. Problem solved.

              The healthcare and education unions run this state even more so than the big banks, and the rest of us are just their humble servants.

                More than the big banks, that is quite a statement. A power play that may test it could follow.
