<I find it hard to swallow the argument that the US is immune from the currency crisis, it's not clear that we will be able to fund the still increasing national debt from overseas any more I do also, but so far the buck, along with British pound, it appears, is considered safe heaven. pacific.commerce.ubc.ca -Vi

>> Do you think that a payment to the IMF bailout fund could account for the sudden jump? Actually, the deficit on a day to day basis jumps all over the place. I would guess that IMF loans would turn up as debt on the Treasury site unless they are like Social Security and have special (bogus) IOU's issued by some gov't agency rather than the Treasury itself. However, on a monthly or yearly basis the Treasury debt just keeps climbing at 2-4 times the pace of the official budget deficit touted by the president and/or the Congress in the press.
