Bankruptcy of U.S. is ?Mathematical Certainty,? Says Former CEO of Nation's 10th Largest Bank
John Allison, who for two decades served as chairman and CEO of  BB&T, the nation's 10th largest bank, told CNSNews.com it is a  ?mathematical certainty? that the United States government will go  bankrupt unless it dramatically changes its fiscal direction.Allison likened what he sees as the predictable future bankruptcy of  the United States to the problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose  insolvency he also said was foreseeable to those who studied their  business practices and financial situation.?I think the first thing we have to realize is where we?re going and  to face it objectively,? Allison told CNSNews.com, when asked about the  trillion-dollar-plus deficits the federal government has run for three  straight years, the more than $13 trillion in federal debt, and the  $61.9 trillion long-term shortfall the government faces (according to  the analysis of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation) if the government is  to pay all the benefits it has promised through entitlement programs.More Here..The Age Of The Dollar Is Drawing To A Close
