Some more facts - and you're not going to like any of them: •Within hours of the passage of the bill more than half of the authorized increase in the debt ceiling (the first tranch) was blown and gone as Geithner unwound all the screwball theft games he had played for the previous two months. More than $200 billion instantly vanished. The scale and price of his deception was instantly laid bare upon the table, as was our fiscal trajectory, since June is one of the heavy tax receipt months (estimated taxes.)

I don't think this is accurate.
I don't think we have any options. Politically, the politicians and the voters simply are not going to do the right thing. I see no way for that to happen. Elections? Pfffff! Meaningless now.
I see a collapse of the global economic system. I see defaults -- everywhere. By that, I mean "everywhere".
And I see war and rumors of war.
The number one priority of the Rats is getting Obama re-elected with as many of them tagging along as possible.
Hence his bus trip to Iowa..when he should be back in DC in series discussions with Congress on how to get back on track. The GOP passed a plan that would have worked..the GOP has expressed a willingness to do a tax reform that would increase revenues, while improving the economy, but the RATS don’t want touch entitlements or their special interest groups. We need to eliminate programs and depts..wholesale.
We need to clean out the welfare roles of illegals and layabouts..
Watching Cavuto this a.m. and thought I heard the S&P guy say that if Cut Cap and Balance had passed that we wouldn’t have been downgraded.
Anyone else hear that? If so, one could think the Tea Party should have the next election sewed up.
Are you "series"? It doesn't matter where 0bama is. Anywhere he is, he has no interest in getting "back on track." From his perspective, he IS "on track."
I’ve listened to the “pundits” since last night and they have all been saying that this cut may not have much impact.
Now I’m watching the Saudi stock market crater.
So much for not much impact. Here it comes again and me wishing I had listened to myself again early last week.
I have 2% stop losses in but it won’t help the mutual funds.
I will not ride another horse to the ground though.
I don’t see a rebound or why there should be one. Does anybody else and does anybody else have a reason for one?
We will see people riot by Thanksgiving I think.
It's Time for the 'And So It Begins' drinking game! Every time someone posts the oh-so dire and ominous 'And So It Begins' - we take a drink!!

Palin/Oldexpat 2012!!!
I like the way you think. Wholesale elimination of federal departments is a good place to start. Requiring a minimum of 30 hours legitimate work each week in exchange for welfare benefits would also help. Eliminating all benefits to illegals would be a good thing, especially if we would contact the governments of their home countries and ask if they’d be willing to step up and pay for the repatriation of their citizens so we could ship them home at no cost to us.
And we’ll also need to suspend all enviro-laws and fast track domestic energy production to keep more of our dollars from being sent overseas.
The list could go on and on...
lol...I’ll start the list...;-)

Look what I stole from the comments section.
“we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy,”
The S&P has this all wrong. There is no gulf between political parties over fiscal policy, nor has there been one for at least 20 years. That’s the problem - there’s been broad agreement to “spend, spend, spend” regardless of political party.
If we would aspire to create a broad gulf over fiscal policy, now or any time in the past 20 years - we’d not be in the mess we are in.
