Of course one could just read the actual S&P report Isaac Send a noteboard - 06/08/2011 04:01:07 PM
Which pretty makes makes clear the obvious, that S&P downgraded us because we have monstrous deficit and debt and the two opposing factions have very different ideas for how to deal with it and are basically evenly matched and not gonna budge. But if you and everyone else want to pretend you know what the hell you're talking about and play the usual partisan bullshit as though it even applied go right ahead. I guess snoops' half-sentence quote from the 8-page report is what you refer to, might I suggest making the minimal effort to read the whole thing?

Right, ABC new's summary of the report is not the report Isaac - 06/08/2011 07:02:46 PM 1463 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 1258 Views
It doesn't refute it, it just isn't this simple distillation you're offering Isaac - 06/08/2011 09:23:33 PM 1056 Views
It's more than half a sentence; I quoted several paragraphs. Joel - 06/08/2011 09:56:31 PM 934 Views

We do have a debt ceiling for a reason random thoughts - 09/08/2011 04:05:59 PM 996 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 937 Views
