For the first time in history Standard and Poors downgrades U.S. Credit Rating.
This shows you just how much a scam this debt deal was as presented to the public. The media touted the deal as a major victory for the Tea Party. Really? Only 27% of polled Tea Party members thought so.
There were no real cuts to the spending. The one thing that would have made a difference and the one thing the Democrats feared the most was a Balanced Budget amendment. Not only would this have put us on a path to balance our budget but would change the way accounting works in Washington. No longer would there be “Baseline Budgeting” which allows the government to spend more while appearing to cut.

Isn’t it ironic that the reason we purchase Alaska was for it’s resources and now we are told we cannot take advantage of them. But you know, I could go on and on.
We know what works but they’ll have none of it on their way to the make believe utopia. They’ll print more money which will only lead to higher inflation,as well as increased food and energy cost.
We must get this country back on track as soon as possible and pray that 2012 is soon enough.
By the way: Obama is blaming S&P by criticizing their methods to determine the rating.
It’s always some one else’s fault.
Mr. President YOUR POLICIES do not work. Just look at history, Europe or for that matter contrast California with Texas.
