Sounds good.
Current Drudge Report (archive here: http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/data/2013/11/05/20131105_013727.htm) is featuring this headline and link:
Federal Debt Jumped $409 Billion in October…
And here are some links you might want to use…
By law, the G Fund will be made whole once the debt limit is increased.
By law, the CSRDF and PSRHBF will be made whole once the debt limit is increased.
The $409 billion increase in the reported debt in the month of October really represents the amount of new debt created from May 18th to October 31st (five and a half months, not 1 month).
Effectively, there really isn’t a debt limit, because when we hit the debt limit, Treasury just plays a shell game, continuing to borrow beyond the limit until the limit is raised.

2) You can bet that topic will be coming up. I don’t know what day yet, but it will be coming up.

However, we have some great writers guest-blogging in my absence. Bruce McQuain of QandO, Steve Eggleston of No Runny Eggs, and Morgen Richmond will be dropping in to analyze the news.
I second what ITguy wrote in a comment there:
I hope Steve does a post sharing the truth about the debt limit… how we really hit the limit May 17th and used the shell game of “Extraordinary Measures” to borrow more money beyond the debt limit for FIVE MONTHS… borrowing that was “made whole” with new Treasury securities as soon as the debt limit was raised.
I hope you do that.
Cheers!
