The House, under Boehner, passed a plan with bipartisan support that would have averted this downgrade, with $4T in cuts, and on put us on the right path: "Cut, Cap & Balance" (HR 2560).

What did Obama & the obstructionist Senate say?

Harry Reid: "Over, Done, Dead"

White House: "Duck, Dodge and Dismantle."

I think nothing would have averted the downgrade... the “crisis” was in the works by those who planned it.
