From BBC News: US loses AAA credit rating after S&P downgrade



http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14428930 

Weren't they threatening to downgrade the credit rating if the government DIDN'T raise the debt ceiling?

Yooz guys gotta stop looking at things from a "liberal vs. conservative" viewpoint. What will it take for you to realize you're being conned by both parties? "Liberals" aren't liberal and "Conservatives" aren't conservative. They're all a bunch of globalist hacks. Behind closed doors they're all on the same team.

Borndead1 I think everyone here pretty much is in agreement with you. FuzzyNJ just brings out the "best" in everyone.

Awww, can't handle opinions so blame me.

Dow futures just opened, currently down 256...my short position is looking good.

Impossible!

Perhaps the downgrade wasn't due to an increase in the debt ceiling or how close to the deadline the increase was passed and was signed, but instead simply the inability for U.S. politicians to get along well enough to ever really make a difference at getting anything done. Any how, our situation is nothing new and the downgrade comes as no surprise. The writing has been on the wall for a long time.

Robert your a good guy, Isn't it about time you quit wasting the effort to try to justify the job the Dolt Obama has done . Move on and move up.

A 'barbarous relic' from the primitive times when people considered a certain yellow metal dug up out of the dirt to be valuable.

We've advanced beyond that...now we deem fancy pieces of paper and computer keystrokes to be valuable. 🤦

My understanding was this: Several economist's said...if they (the FED's) didn't cut their deficit spending budget by 4T dollars we WOULD slide into a less than perfect AAA rating. Well they only cut 1.7 or something paltry like that so we were downgraded to AA+. Then they turn around and spend the bulk of the funds that the raise in ceiling gave them in ONE DAY!! They're addicted to taxpayer monies like a crack addict to Crack......

They ALL need to loose their jobs in NOV. Every stinking one of them.
