Tax hikes for the rich aren't exactly part of the Republican agenda.

As I said, those US dollars they're stuffing their pockets with won't be worth much if the economy collapses. Apparently Treasury Secretary Geithner has been thinking the same I have: With what just happened in Greece and the ongoing concerns about them and the rest of PIGS, this is a BAD time to test global confidence in nations on the brink of bankruptcy. The dirty little secret in all this is that, according to Wikipedia, what was true of US debt in my childhood remains true now: 47% of US debt is held by non-Americans; guess who that means has the other 53%. I'll give you a hint: They ALWAYS think their taxes are too high....
