We really need to step it up if we are going to keep the % increase trend going. Q1 increase was 56.11%, Q2 increase was 48.5%, Q3 increase was 57.2%. That’s an average of about 53.94%. So, in my estimate we need to raise $30.6M this last quarter!

The debt ceiling is only part of the problem, though. The other half is the debasing of the Dollar by the actions of the Federal Reserve. In order to keep interest rates low, the Fed needs to increase the money supply, but putting more money into circulation devalues the Dollar.
