Cuts aren't up to him, though. Great Lord of Chaos Send a noteboard - 06/08/2011 05:37:50 AM
S&P has been warning DC for months that unless significant cuts to our projected debt were accepted, the downgrade would happen. Obama resisted such cuts every step of the way and now has to suffer the consequences.

The buck stops with him.....that's the job he signed up for.


Congress must pass any legislation, and with a Republican House and Democratic Senate, only a bi-partisan bill would have any chance of passing, and we saw how well that worked this time.

S&P specifically cited GOP refusal to raise taxes among their reasons. Joel - 06/08/2011 03:10:22 PM 1157 Views
Of course one could just read the actual S&P report Isaac - 06/08/2011 04:01:07 PM 1130 Views
Sure. Joel - 06/08/2011 04:53:47 PM 1189 Views
Right, ABC new's summary of the report is not the report Isaac - 06/08/2011 07:02:46 PM 1484 Views
Link works, but I'm not sure why you think it refutes snoops assessment or mine. Joel - 06/08/2011 08:35:10 PM 1274 Views
It doesn't refute it, it just isn't this simple distillation you're offering Isaac - 06/08/2011 09:23:33 PM 1072 Views
It's more than half a sentence; I quoted several paragraphs. Joel - 06/08/2011 09:56:31 PM 950 Views
Well yes, after I gave you the report, I think I'm pretty obviously refering to before that Isaac - 06/08/2011 11:02:17 PM 968 Views

We do have a debt ceiling for a reason random thoughts - 09/08/2011 04:05:59 PM 1007 Views
Because, when you get down to it, the debt ceilings very existence was always a political threat. Joel - 09/08/2011 05:02:12 PM 953 Views
Ultimately, I'm forced to agree completely. Joel - 09/08/2011 05:09:19 PM 1022 Views
