Good grief...and these are supposed to be smart people?! Any time there has been sustained and significant tax cuts (e.g., Kennedy, Reagan, Bush), gov't tax receipts increased, not decreased. Gees, even the rating services are buying into the Left's BS. The lesson for these idiots to learn: We know how to spend our money better than the gov't does, and in the process, we augment consumer demand, resulting in more sales, resulting in more hiring, and so on. Come on, guys, fire up a neuron or two and do more than just fog a mirror...

The debt mongers are taking over the world! Apparently, we now all live just to support public debt. The Goldman Sax gets the fees and the public is enslaved...

In what rational universe should the US now deserve a AAA rating? Moody's, as with MBS's during the real estate boom, is already lying about our credit worthiness.

And you can bet that when the political/financial screws are applied Moody's will continue to find that the US's credit rating is a stellar AAA.

Moody's should be happy. The more our real credit rating differs from the politically correct one, the more bribes they can request in return for services rendered.

Moody’s is also ignorant of the Laffer Curve.

Moody’s is just another member of the “educated way beyond their intelligence” club.

Bah. Low taxes and High spending has worked wonders so far.

If Federal government spending had been held to a 2% annual increase for each of the past 10 years, we would not be facing such a monumental problem. Entitlement reform is still going to be required, too. Increasing taxes will not solve that problem without crushing growth and depressing corporate revenue, and thus leaving both Social Security and Medicare further in the red.
