As America’s fiscal storm approaches, government prepares to save itself
It’s a familiar response whenever the National Weather Service warns of a Category 5 hurricane, a life-threatening winter blizzard or some other looming natural disaster. Government officials urge local citizens to seek shelter immediately, while promising that area police will keep guard to ensure that looters do not use the emergency to rob boarded-up homes and abandoned stores. Today, Americans are being warned to brace for another kind of storm, one involving not the weather but their personal finances.
