Ask Illinois this question.  It is the Venezuela of the MidWest.  Would you lend $100.00 to a crack addict who will promise to pay you back $200.00 next week?  You had best not.  When governments run out of suckers to borrow from, their entire economy collapses.  No more government payouts, paychecks or services.  
 Lenders aren't wealthy because they lend to deadbeats.  They also don't want to have their investments be paid back with inflated paper as is the Federal Government's plan.    BTW, the GDP is barely keeping its head above negative growth.
