ORIGINAL: SoftBonds Like I said, cap it at $1.10 per capita for every state... Like I strongly implied, if not actually said; Put a cap in Goldman Sachs' and Standard & Poors' heads, and every state would likely be under that limit within five years. How 'bout it, NY? There was actually a Heinlein story with a war between the US and an alliance of Latin American nations that owed us (the banks) huge amounts of money. In a daring raid, the alliance managed to get a small unit of bombers off the US East coast, and managed a surgical strike, destroying wall street with fuel-air bombs. The US accepted a small portion of the worth of the loans as payment for the damage and lives lost. Most of the folks who were owed money were now dead, and their Heirs were not too ernest to press for payment.
