"...falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics," S&P said in a statement."

BUT WAIT! - That's what the tea party 'terrorists' said. (how can this be?)

But but but Bonehead and Mcdumbass got a bill through that zero would pass. This was not suppose to happen!!!1

Market watch is quoting someone who says this is the Tea Party downgrade. This is a downgrade due to the Obama Admin.’s incompetence. If the Tea Party shares any blame it is because they folded instead of shutting down the government.

Other than the U.S. having to pay higher interest rates on the national debt, what are the significant, immediate effects of this action on the country and on we, the people?

Thank you, in advance for any information.

This on the day I get my annual property value notice. Down another 24 thousand. From $254,000 to the new $230,000.

The high water mark in 2007 we were sitting at $325,000.

Good thing we aren’t planning to sale.
