Media Advisory - Leading economist to speak to unnerving reality of the fiscal state of US and how it will affect Canada

CALGARY, Nov. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - "The United States is bankrupt, flat broke. Thanks to accounting that would make Enron blush, America's insolvency goes far beyond what our leaders are disclosing."
