With everyone’s attention turning to the debt ceiling X-Date of October 17 (or sooner now that the Pentagon is once again spending money like a drunken sailor following the recall of 400,000 workers or half of the total number fuloughed), some are wondering why is the stock market not reacting more violently. The generic response that has formed is that despite all the feamongering by Obama and the Treasury, even crossing the X-Date will hardly result in the apocalyptic outcome that so many predict as the Treasury can “prioritze payments”, i.e., paying some bills and not others, which as we explained before, means paying down debt obligations first, and everything else - whose non-payment does not constitute an event of default under US debt - last. In other words, if the US were to merely live within its means, it should have no problem remaining current on its interest expense even if that means slashing most other government programs.

Philadelphia sells PGW

Philadelphia Gas Works is being sold as advised by Lazard Ltd.  The administration of Philadelphia Mayor Nuttter continues to build a case for the sale of the Philadelphia Gas works. They released a cost benefit analysis showing how the sale would be good for the taxpayer. This new report was completed by financial advisory firm Lazard. The report estimates that the sale of PGW will be for between $1.45 billion and $1.9 billion. This sale will yield a net profit for the city of between $422 million and $872 million after PGW's debts are paid. Budget Director Rebecca Rhynhart claims the report is a conservative estimate of the value of PGW. She bases this on the opportunities that exist for new business opportunities and rate increases in the future. Mayor Nutter would like the money from this sale to go towards the city's pension system which is currently underfunded. Critics of this sale point out that the sale of PGW will lose the city $18 million in a year. Rhynhart claims that this will be made up for by additional room in the budget from the now funded pension funds.
