Rating agencydowngradeS U.S. credit rating to AA+

I'm not a US citizen, but the only person telling almost all the truth is Ron Paul. And that's why he is so under attack or overlooked.

However, he should run as an independent, because both parties are only the cover for bankers (Govermment Sachs, Rotschild's). And if the runs as an independet, he could be as vice president Jesse Ventura, another one that is really fighting for the 1776 Constitution.

Add me to the list of people giving Ron Paul a serious look. Him and Dennis Kucinich are two of the very few honest, honorable public servants.

In a nutshell: Tea party say we need to cut the massive borrowing. US credit rating could be cut if current ways continue.

Petulant Democrats fight any attempts to cut spending. Wimpy Republicans cave. Smoke and mirros compromise, no real changes made.

Market crashes, US credit rating dropped.

Conclusion according to brilliant anlaysts on HA, it's the tea party's fault.

cant tell if serious or troll
If you want to see why the credit rating was dropped, read the press release. I posted part of it earlier. Republicans not wanting to raise taxes on the rich parasites and the bush tax cuts did it. This isn't my opinion, its right out of the press release.

I liek Ron Paul but he's to old and would never win out. He's antiwar so that right there eliminates him from the majority of republican base. And his son is a real wacko.

Ron Paul is as spry as Obama. On Rand though, I have to admit, he scares me a little. I mean, for starters, who the hell carpetbags to Kentucky?

In a nutshell. The April 18th S&P report indicated that no downgrades were in our immediate future, but warned that they expected us to do some deficit trimming by 2013. That's two years in the future. No crediting agency expected we would willingly renege on our debt payments given our current triple A rating. Now the Tea Party comes and holds our creditors hostage for political gain and blow up our economy (that's the definition of extortion btw) if we don't given in to their looney demands. What S&P never dreamed was danger, now became a distinct possibility, and as the deadline neared, a probability. So yes, it was the Tea Baggers (their original handle for themselves btw, which goes to show how in touch they are) who got us down graded. Thanks assholes. As Amy points out, it's all in S&P's most recent press release. They blame the politicking and brinksmanship with the debt ceiling. They also suggest both spending cuts and tax hikes. Read it.

The next time Michelle goes after Barack with a shoe we could be looking at President Biden.
