Dear Knuckleheads,
You made history.
For the first time ever, the United States has been downgraded from a AAA rating to an AA+ rating.
Nice play, Shakespeare.
You realize we are blaming you for this, right?
The organization that implemented the downgrade blames you...

None of the candidates you supported ran on a platform of, "If elected, I will work to downgrade the credit rating of the United States Government."
None of them.
But that's where we are now.
And, best of luck blaming this one on President Obama. He put everything, including the kitchen sink and his re-election prospects for 2012 on the table, and your candidates didn't budge an inch.
We will remember this in November.

P.S. What would have happened if the U.S. had actually defaulted, I wonder?

We have changed our assumption on this because the majority
of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise
revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act.

I'm not stumping for the other side - but Standard and Poor's played a pivotal role in bringing on the financial crisis, as demonstrated by this press release. http://www.mortgagebankers.org/NewsandMedia/PressCenter/32153.htm
ReplyDeleteI’m not seeing any realistic proposals from right-wing Democrats like Obama, let alone from the batshit crazy Republicans. Until recently, the elitists seemed to understand that as long as the middle class was happily deluded, they could continue to enjoy the fruits of elitism without fear of exposure. Your co-administrator raised an interesting point, if entitlements are destroying this country, then why are US companies setting up shop in socialist nations like Sweden and Germany? where wages, taxes, benefits and unions are strong? Something is rotten in DC. And its not just the Republicans.
ReplyDeleteNah. I'm blaming the TEA Party.
ReplyDeleteWho knows? Maybe I'll be the only one.
