Repost from Moneynews Street Talk

US Treasury Secretary Jack Lewis said US will find itself in a new world order (difficulty) if it defaults on any of its obligation, even if its bond principal and interest payments were up to date, he said before Congressional hearing.

The suspension of the debt limit expires on May 19, 2013 and other emergency measures might be made to extend the debt payment limit up to August.  However, once the debt limit is reached, prospects of debt default is faced and could shake the market.

IMF warns US that if the debt limit law is not passed or amended smoothly, this could damage the world economy

Dear Moneynews Reader: Please find below a special message from our sponsor, Lombardi Research. They have some important information to share with you. Thank you. Moneynews.com Dear Reader: I'm writing to you today about a threat to the United States that is bigger than any I've ever witnessed… …a threat so big; it could quickly transform this once- mighty nation into a third-world country. It's bigger than the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. It's bigger than the oil crisis of the 1970s. It's bigger than the financial and banking crisis of 2008. Over the past 26 years, our research firm has been recognized for accurately forecasting several major financial events. Ten years ago, we started predicting a sharp rise in the price of gold... Two years before it happened, we forecast the housing bubble would burst and collapse. One year before it happened, we predicted the U.S. would enter a recession in 2007. We even predicted the Federal Reserve would bring interest rates to record lows and start printing money far before the Fed took any action. Now we're issuing our next major urgent warning. I explain the nature of this threat and why I believe it will economically devastate the U.S. in this startling new video presentation—watch it here now! Yours truly, George Leong, B. Comm.

Is breaking up too big to fail banks the answer to financial stability?

Ad Majorem.....Wealth Builders

From MoneyNews by Michael Kling | March 21 2013 

The proposal to cut up to small pieces of too big to fail banks may be done out of revenge (or a escape goat) according to Rodriguez Valladares, managing of principal of MRV Associates.  The New York based firm trains bank examiners and executives

The other parts of financial system:  securities firm, regulators, insurance companies, hedge funds can contribute to the stability.

The cutting off banks from investment banking activity can lessen the risk.  The combination makes investment banks overly agressive because of assumed FDIC (govt)guarantee.

The downside of the cutting to pieces (just what they did to Oil Companies as part of compliance with Anti Trust Laws) are:  more unemployment, higher cost of funds, more regulators needed to handle more banking units.
