“We lowered our long-term rating on the U.S. because we believe that the prolonged controversy over raising the statutory debt ceiling and the related fiscal policy debate indicate that further near-term progress containing the growth in public spending, especially on entitlements, or on reaching an agreement on raising revenues is less likely than we previously assumed and will remain a contentious and fitful process.”
It's not a republican/democrat thing. It's a conservative/liberal thing. Liberal fiscal policies put us here. Conservative fiscal policy is the only way out.
If you look at the ACTUAL fiscal policies of both Bush and Obama, then the only logical conclusion can be if Bush was bad then Obama is worse. They have the same fiscal and war policies, with one difference. Obama increased both.
That doesn't make any sense. Clinton gave Bush the biggest surplus in US history from solid progressive fiscal policies that made the economy soar. The economy tanked to the biggest recession from typical far right wing fiscal policies that have never, and will never work.
While yes you are correct right now we do still have the Bush era republican fiscal policies that continue to be a failure. For this reason is why many are very unhappy with Obama that he would rather cave than fight, and would rather keep continuing the failed republican policies like the tax cuts for the rich, rather then restore them to their previous rates like they were suppose to so we can get back to fiscal sanity.
They have caused major problems and they perpetuate failure. This is the reason for the downgrade. Bigots simply can't stand for this black President to be successful, but their nonsense ultimately fails because they themselves don't have a history of succeeding in running an economy effectively, balancing a budget, lowering any deficit, of benefiting the country except for the rich and those with that "unearned privilege."
Time to kick GOP and their tea party contingent out of Congress. They are wrecking the country with their nonsense, after doing it for 8 horrific years under Bush.
I personally think it was orchestrated to purposely take down the United States. We both know the Republicans and Democrats work for the same team so there was no use voting in the poll.
The Illuminati, Bilderbergers, and last but certainly not least the trilateral commission. The History Channel has a vverrrryy interesting 1 hour program about these fine folks.

How many times is this ignorant statement going to be regurgitated?
When its even cited in the S & P report, I don't think its ignorant, and it should be regurgitated as often as necessary until the right wing sheeple learn to compromise.
The left was at the center with cuts in an outstretched hand. Where was the right?
