S&P: "We lowered our long-term rating on the U.S. because we believe that the prolonged controversy over raising the statutory debt ceiling and the related fiscal policy debate indicate that further near-term progress containing the growth in public spending, especially on entitlements, or on reaching an agreement on raising revenues is less likely than we previously assumed and will remain a contentious and fitful process."
You and your ilk try and turn everything around, define up as down, refuse standard definitions of everything, refuse any compromise, and make no distinction between fact and opinion. It amounts to shitting in the well of civilized public discourse which is where our system is supposed to derive its authority. That is the problem.
If you had any direct involvement in the economy beyond your paycheck you would know very well what the "prolonged controversy" cost. It is measurable and those who have something at stake do take the trouble to measure it.
If I wanted to look smart, I wouldn't be debating with you.
