Idiots! On both sides!
yep.
but, Moody’s and Standard and Poors both said it wasn’t the debt ceiling. it was the spending.
they said it would required cuts of at least 4 trillion to avoid the downgrade.

IF Boehner had stood his ground, and gotten even that minimum,
there wouldn’t be a downgrade at all.
(and probably not the Stock crash and gold boom this week.)

He could have helped save America. Instead he sold it down the river.

Republicans were afraid to stick to their guns and insist on real cuts because they were afraid they would get blamed.

Looks like they are going to get stuck with the blame anyway - If Americans are stupid enough to swallow the Obama BS blame game.
