Default An interest ending .

Obviously the current US financial system cannot continue forever .

The only question is "what will break first " ?

One thought put forward is that banks comprising the
Fed Reserve bank will rebel . Their grievance being "we cannot handle
these losses with no end in sight "

Think about that ! Banks quitting and leaving the Federal Reserve .
Can a Fed with less arms and legs still function , if so with how few ?
What effect would that spectacle have on confidence . I am not
saying it will happen that way but it is an interesting scenario to
ponder .

FTCA [the Federal Tort Claims Act], but are independent, privately owned
and locally controlled corporations."
