Trading in the U.S. was particularly volatile, with the Dow making 100 points moves in either direction mere minutes. The VIX, commonly seen as a gauge of fear in stock markets, surged 19% to its highest level since August. The New York Federal Reserve had to restart its asset-buying program due to the extreme volatility, sources told the FOX Business Network.

this is the beggining of US falldown- it starts with rising gas prices, then the cost of everything goes up, then the dollar is dissolved then there is Riots, protests, and perhaps a civil war

Chances are the feds will do something stupid like just create it from thin air like they have done in the past, or maybe they will opt to take a page from California's playbook and start issuing IOUs. At this point neither action would surprise me with the way the government has been dealing with things lately, looks like its time to gas up the BOV and make sure the gear is all squared away.
Something very notable happened today receiving exactly zero recognition by the mainstream press: the process of winding down the Supplementary Financing Program ended, with either zero (assuming the entire $25 billion in 56 Day CMB matured without rolling) or $5 billion (as per the Treasury's disclosure), remaining under the SFP. This means that the entire $200 billion buffer that had previously afforded the Treasury breathing room with the looming debt ceiling, is now gone, and next steps include such drastic measures as a partial or complete government shutdown, as no incremental funding will be available to fund the daily deficit. As a reminder, as of today the Treasury had a total of $12.24 trillion in debt, just $70 billion below the ceiling, and $14.172 of debt subject to the limit. Which is not good because as per today's refunding announcement there is $99 billion in 2, 5 and & 7 year debt coming down the line next week. Which means that while the formal debt ceiling will not be breached, the total amount of debt including the fluff not counted, will surpass $12.4 trillion by next Friday.
Is it for sure that the US gov will be completely broke and have to shut down. Or will they just bail themselves out even more?
Will this effect Canada in any way, and if so how will it effect Canada?
