Has everyone heard about this?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/sandp-considering-first-downgrade-of-us-credit-rating/2011/08/05/gIQAqKeIxI_story.html
How in the hell can anybody take a credit report that overestimates debt by $2 trillion dollars seriously? I think that this whole thing is an insane, entirely political move by a small group of billionaires.
What do they want you ask?
They want to see cuts to ‘entitlement’ programs like medicare. Maybe we could continue funding it with the 2 trillion these so-called ‘analysts’ seemed to have misplaced…?
I’m so g-d sick of people who think of their pocketbooks before anything else.
America is truly, truly messed up.

now vulture time could start.. (e.g., china’s dagong had paralleled that move). and whenever OPEC will switch to bill its oil in say, renminbi, or a currency mixture, your whole country’s gonna tumble down.. and yeah, i agree, rating agencies are purely means of doing politics. but that doesn’t change the fact that all western countries are neck-deep in trouble — someone (i believe syn) recently posted this: http://www.usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html , and i guess it says it all. btw, welcome back jordan! <3 :)

@Paul would you mind elaborating on what you mean by ‘vulture time’ and why exactly the ‘whole country’s gonna tumble down’. This issue scares me because I’ve heard the statements before .. and living in USA it is alarming to me.
I was under the impression that if the USA starts to sink, it’s going to take a large part of the world with it..
