After the way the Repubs have been treated by Obama and the Dems....I hope the Repubs in the House block EVERY piece of liberal legislation sent to them. Stop it all. Treat Obama and the Dems just like THEY treat the Repubs. Be just as disrespectful, harsh, unrelenting, ruthless and politically ideological as the Dems are and always have been. And, for any of you silly liberals that disagree with me.....I don't care......you are the worst this nation has produced.

The downgrade occurred because of the government's spending habits, extraordinarily poor financial choices and no change in either for the foreseeable future. This lead to less confidence in the United States Government as an investment. It's as simple as that.

There is no way to tax our way out of this problem. It is a mathematical impossibility. Uncle Sam must live on less that what he takes in.

Was it?

We wouldn't have been downgraded if we simply continued to borrow endlessly....?

And IF...

We had chosen not to borrow any more... We would have been downgraded as a greater 'credit risk'?

LOL....

The left IS brilliant.... ;)

Enjoy the communal sigh of relief while it lasts, America.  Sure, the endlessly-discussed "fiscal cliff" has been averted thanks to a flawed, 13th-hour deal -- but the high-stakes partisan wrangling is just beginning.  We'll get to the road ahead in a moment, but first, a word or two about the compromise itself.  Let's stipulate right out of the gate that it stinks.  It was jammed through in late night votes at the last possible minute, it scratches the Left's "fairness" itch to no constructive end, and the CBO calcluates its tax hike to spending cut ratio is roughly
