A discussion of the better things in life, including music, the arts, wine, beer, cigars, scotch, gambling the Quatloosian way, travel, sports, and many other topics. [Political and religious discussions and the like should stay off-site.]

Thanks for the link. Even though the US National Debt is rising, the amount of the US Debt being held by foreign countries is steadily diminishing, so there's some good news.

One of the things I liked about it was that it had the U-3 and U-6 numbers where most charts only show one of them. It also takes into account, not only the overall deficit, but breaks it down and breaks down the trade deficit into general and then that of China. Like I said, interesting.
