We're in danger of defaulting BECAUSE of our very high debt, it was foolish to pile more on. Very very foolish. And notice we didn't lose our credit rating while they were debating raising the debt, it was after the GOP caved in and raised the debt ceiling.
If we can't control our out-of-control spending, it's going to be controlled for us. Wild unrestrained spending cannot go on forever.
Oh, that is ridiculous. No one in this country is cheering the crisis we are in, unless they are members of the Communist party.
doesn't make anysense, of course there are idiots cheering for failure based on political opposition but little do the bird brains know it will affect them.. i'd think they would be pissed not happy... # Idiots
they basically *****ted on what their sole purpose is...not a very bright bunch
Sounds like something Al Qaeda would say. "Yay, America is falling!"
America is failing?
Who said anything about America failing?
This is a great day.
The liars in Washington have been called out on their bull sh*t promised cuts everyone knows will never materialize. They'll have to face the voters on this one and a good number will be thrown out. That's progress!

and Washington means democrat or liberal to most...non of the tea party goofs protest against anyone conservative only liberal and politically democrat
This decision by S&P is the latest consequence of the out-of-control spending that has taken place in Progressive controlled Washington, for decades. The spending binge has resulted in job-destroying economic uncertainty and now threatens to send destructive ripple effects across our credit markets.
Conservatives and finally right leaning Moderates, have listened to the voices of the American people and worked to bring the spending binge to a halt. We are no longer debating how much to spend, but rather how much to cut. Unfortunately, decades of reckless spending cannot be reversed immediately, especially when the tax & spend Progressive Democrats who run Washington, remain unwilling to make the tough choices required to put America on solid ground.
What the heck? Why would the Tea Party cheer over the credit downgrade?
Either they are too stupid to realize that taking credit for America's credit rating downgrade is anti-Ameriacan, or they were too stupid to comprehend what their speaker said.
If there was ever a question of this group's patrionism this shows it.
the tea party is a disgrace. These people have tunnel vision and want their way or the highway.
the blame game is what it's taking this country down the toilet. The tea party doesn't care about their country, they only care to "be right", to be told "oh you told us so" and to get their way even if it means economic disaster.
Both parties need to compromise. You cannot not get your way only in a compromise. It takes two for a compromise OK?. It's not that hard, raise revenues and cut expenses. Any 2nd grader can figure that out.
