Forbes article nails the source of America's problem.
"Few Americans needed Standard & Poor to confirm the mismanagement of the United States government and its finances. The downgrading of American credit will raise interest rates on America’s huge debt and ultimately on all Americans. Popular polls say that most Americans blame Congress—but that’s too simplistic.

It is first and foremost a leadership problem that is crippling America—and the leader is President Barack Obama—not the many members of Congress."
