Do they really think it matters to the world what they think about S&P? Do they really think the world is expecting them to say “Way to go, S&P! We’re behind you 100%!”

Our federal government wrote the book on “questionable mathematics.” Americans can no longer believe a word coming out of DC or the media.

Who to believe: Goolsby & Geithner, or Standard & Poors.

We are so screwed.

Don’t worry, Congress is going to investigate S&P! We have nothing to worry about!

(yes, that is sarcasm)

“They made a $2 trillion math error, and they didn’t check their work,” Goolsbee said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Do tell, Austan.

I don't watch Press the Meat (or anything else on NBC [at least not until they put God back into The Pledge Of Allegiance]), did the modulator aks Ghoulsby to show him (or her) the math?

Things are looking up for S&P. If it turns out they made an error in paying their taxes then Obama will probably find room for them in his Cabinet.

S&P sez...

“Yes Sir, we did make a math error. It’s actually worse than we thought. You’re downgraded AGAIN!”

Actually econ czar #4 Goolsbee is scheduled to go back to U. of Chicago soon.

AFAIK there’s been no replacement named.

Not sure how many takers there are for that job.

The government have been lax in investigating fraud during the banking mess.... “the worst banking disaster since the great depression.”

And now this... they can't wait to investigate.

Makes one wonder.

The former: probably a lot their buddies had connections to the banks and rating agencies in question.

The later: S&P rating is bad press for Obama. Need I say more.

The Dems will sell their souls to protect one of their own, e.g., Bill Clinton (Paula Jones sexual harassment trial).

This is killing them at the White House. Yet, they remain arrogant. They Democrats are going to be completely wiped out in the next election. No amount of money from George SorryAss or Warren Buffett will help them.
