And people think Bernie Madoff was the consummate scam artist? These thugs could teach Madoff more than he ever managed to figure out on his own.

You are correct. There is one difference however. Madoff had to provide propaganda to appease all of his investors. The liberals only need enough propaganda to appease 51% of the voters.

Stay solvent, my friend!

One only wonders if the United States will stay solvent for much longer. Moodys has, once again, repeated its warning that the U.S. is in danger of losing its AAA credit rating on its federal debt. See this article: U.S., U.K. Move Closer to Losing Rating, Moody’s Says. This is the second warning in a very short period of time and, quite frankly, should be regarded as a shot fired over the bow of the United States on the increasingly reckless course the fascists, I mean democrats, continue to pursue.

This is, basically, tantamount to when Greenspan used to warn that the markets were getting frothy, or exhibiting irrational exuberance - it meant that the Fed (when it was still colorably a responsible central bank and not just the fascists', I mean democrats', favorite piggy-bank) was going to raise short-term interest rates soon, and the markets took the warning seriously. This warning by Moody's is just as serious and any even half-assed fiscally responsible legislator would take it as such. That the fascists, I mean democrats, do not indicates that they have no intention of being fiscally responsible, and in fact intend to ruin the United States through crushing debt.
