Who has refused to raise revenue when it is historically provable we had a better economy with higher taxes?
Who has refused to raise revenue when it is historically provable we had a better economy with higher taxes?
Both Republican and Democrat spending started the mess, followed by the Tea Party directly causing the issue to be attached to our debt limit.
I agree with your fist part. Both parties have spent too much.
The tea party wants spending cuts.
S&P warned that the cuts need to be at least 4 Trillion.
They caved to the 2 Trillion in cuts that Dems wanted. It is not enough in cuts.
S&P wants to see long term fixes and both parties have settled for short term fixes.
The fact that the Tea Party decided to directly attach this issue to the vote on raising our debt ceiling had a direct impact on why we had our credit downgraded. If we just raised our debt ceiling like we have countless times before without the fanfare that the Tea Party caused we would still have a AAA rating today. Thats just a fact.

But we did increase our debt ceiling....
Are yoiu saying it was the fanfare that allowed S and P to take notice?
I disagree.....just raising the debt ceiling and not promising cuts (or raising revenue) would have had the same affect..
S&P was watching...even if the media wasnt...it is what S&P does.

I guess you think just routinely raising the debt limit without anyone contesting it will make us more financially secure? The downgrade should be a wake-up call for us to get our house in order before we reach the point of no return. Maybe we should be thanking S&P for waking us up. Some people (politicians) are unable to do what's right unless they are forced to. Then they blame someone else tor the problem they, themselves, have created.

Thanks for the well thought out response.
Tax cuts and deregulation are to blame along with spending

The drivel that your posting is ignorant and does not require nor deserve an intelligent response.
Ask the White House whose to blame.
They are still looking for scapegoats and failing to lead.
But, Obie is looking forward to speaking tonite at two fundraisers. He's creating jobs for chefs, waiters, and table setters. Recovery is on the way!
