I need some quick help with economics/national debt etc.
Does anyone remember seeing an article written recently suggesting that we are having a harder time selling our securities to whomever. It was basically saying that the demand for US notes and bonds has slacked, perhaps due to our immense borrowing.

Also, aren't we at the debt limit again and didn't we have to swap some money around because the federal government is out of money? Where did we borrow the money from? It was some government pension or some such shit.

One more thing, how many times have we raised the debt limit under Chimpy?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
