True, but most people don't think anything will ever happen to them. I know...they still think that BrokeBankrupt Uncle Sam and his titties will take care of them.

WE TOLD YOU SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORANS. |

They don't know if there was any sort of cascading failure yet. Just that this particular line is where the problem started.
