Common Sense

PERHAPS the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. -Thomas Paine (1737-1809). Common Sense, 1776

Deadbeats?

There's always a discount on an I.O.U.  The amount depends on its
perceived likely-hood of being paid.  The dollar is, in essence, such an
I.O.U.  The perception of repayment is dropping and you can follow it
by watching the value of dollars on the market.
