Quote from Covertibility:
S&P downgraded Japan in '02, nothing's changed since for them.
The funny thing is, look at the posts of fear popping up, these are the republicans with that walnut sized fear gland in their heads working overtime.
Quote from ElCubano:
I understand...so my question is do you want the rating agencies to continue to look the other way or just do their jobs?...don't try to put words in my mouth steve liesman. We know you are one of the pom pom triplets.
Quote from Kassz007:
No, I want people to stop listening to ratings agencies altogether and form their own opinion. Ratings agencies are useless. People on this board act as if the USA is now in a worse off position than they were before this announcement.
I didn't put words in your mouth. You implied that S&P has now lifted the smoke and mirrors, and did a great service by this announcement. When in reality, this announcement means nothing.
No idea what your "pom pom triplets" comment means, but coming from you, I assume it is something irrationally biased.

Does this mean Paul Ryan will get more support with his plans?
Quote from KINGOFSHORTS:
I wonder if his plans includes getting rid of ethanol subsides and the 50 billion a year we give to the sugar industry to keep sugar at 22 cents a pound or the billions we give to the oil industry as well..
Any of these things on his plan?
