NOTE: This column was written prior to the House's vote on the federal debt ceiling.

    Yesterday was supposed to be the end of the world as we know it, assuming Congress and President Obama didn’t raise America’s debt ceiling. I’m speaking of it as yesterday, based on the fact that the edition of the Bedford Bulletin containing this column will appear on Aug. 3. Right now, as I write this, things aren’t looking good and the United States, for the first time in history, may not be able to pay all its bills.
