Okay, so as a followup to the Heir's insistence that we're still heading for an inevitable default on government debts, he also said that even with this one proposal he was hearing about earlier today, it ain't over till it's over.

The Heir noticed that a new guy on Bloomberg Radio who was supposed to tell you the market totals every fifteen minutes only gives you the percentages changed.  The Heir had to go back to CBS 880 to get the Dow total.  Maybe the new guy on Bloomberg thinks that people should only use iPhones to get the market totals, and it not being skin off his nose if they bump into sensationalistic imagery in doing so, and making them spend more of their retirement on purely discretionary spending when they need to save.  The guy's wasting his time if he thinks that, because what's he doing there since people can also get the percentages on their sensationalistic iPhones.  The Heir's not sure that the woman presenter who was there before him will ever come back, though hopefully she's only on vacation this upcoming week.
