So … for the first time in history the US is downgraded from AAA because government spending is not reduced and balanced to income.

No wonder he wanted to resign in the short term. We’ll see if he actually stays as the 0 Administration desires.

I’m livid over where 0 and his regime are taking our country. We need to see a redoubled Tea Party effort to right the course of America.
