It was Harry Reid who would not cut spending. Try to get it straight instead of posting misleading premise.

Liberal logic, borrow more $$$ to pay interest on debt or face a credit downgrade....

We cant afford to stop deficit spending!!!

This only works until it don't anymore, no bids today on a German bond auction....

credit downgrades don't matter.

esp after the s&p farce one in august.

Look at what the CDS and credit instruments are saying about the economy instead of blindly going on what the big-three credit raters say.

Yes, we have a debt issue for sure but Moody's view on it is irrelevant at a time when treasury auctions are at record low yields.

There are like 17 countries IIRC that have a higher rating by s&p than the US right now. I'd only say two or three actually deserve a higher rating on their list..places such as norway or switzerland.

The credit raters have politicized their ratings and hence are really not credible.

That said, there needs to be a cut in spending, agreed.

Both Republicans and Democrats are responsible. And, yes, I think more downgrades are inevitable.
