The news feed is strangely light tonight. Is everyone away for the Labor Day weekend? But what about our European tipsters?The most interesting story — aside from the results of the congressional audit of the Federal Reserve — concerns NATO’s suspension of the training of Afghan recruits. Until it can discover the underlying causes of the “extremism” that lies behind the green-on-blue attacks that have killed so many Coalition troops, NATO has decided to halt the training.

Regarding the audit of the Federal Reserve, there are two other issues that don't get too much mention:
U.S. unfunded liabilities coming due for the U.S. government which puts the debt at around $130 trillion or more.
And that with barely a pot to pee in with no GDP, no export industry left to bring in the money after they sold off to China and destroyed an excellent manufacturing industry.
Basically they're screwed. There's no way out for them. Watch the dollar collapse in the coming future.
