S&P said it was now "pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government's debt dynamics anytime soon."
In reacting to the downgrade, Democrats and Republicans continued to blame each other and pledged to hold firm to their principles.
According to S & P:
Sounds to me as if the fault lies with Congress and it's absurd ranting, hooting, and finger pointing instead of working together to meet a significant challenge.
But, now they will see the need to cooperate... what?
Oh, never mind. We're screwed.
I'm going with Harry. We're the idiots who keep voting for these jackasses (even those of us who try to vote against them by not voting for either party)

I'm not buying that excuse Harry, its amazing what you can accomplish on a 30 minute lunch break.
That is why I used the word "our". The federal government is at fault, and they are our federal government, chosen by us.
I'm an advocate for change, without removing or instead changing the behavioral effects, of our social and spending programs.
In all seriousness, I find it hard to believe that everyone should have to shoulder the responsibility of the failure, when some people have tried to make a positive difference.
Edit: and no that doesn't mean I blame the "evil libbo socialists!!!1" it's just that many people are very, very resistant to what they've been used to for the past 30 years.
You're just trying to deflect that this whole crisis is the result of 30 years of interrupted libertarian rule :mrgreen:
