“My country went 16 trillion dollars into debt and all I got was this lousy credit rating”

OBAMA IS GOING 'SCORCHED EARTH' ON THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND OUR FOREIGN STANDING

INTENTIONALLY leaving America in a mess that NO PRESIDENT CAN FIX.

It is all going to design as far as Obama is concerned. His worship of hate, lies and death brings plagues.

No report of this at cnn.com. I wonder if they plan to cover this breaking story? (Sarcasm)

The faux Intrade bump must be a manipulation — maybe QE3 related.

Egan Jones defines the Fed’s quantitative easing as ‘’issuing additional currency and depressing interest rates via the purchasing of MBS...’’ Yet today the interest rate on 10-Year Treasuries rose by 6.5%.

No wonder Ben Bernanke held back from imposing QE3 for so many months. He must have surmised that there would be at least one bond-rating agency that would be honest with its clients in evaluating the U.S.’s credit-worthiness.

The fact is, the U.S. bond market is a giant, hugely overpriced tulip bulb that’s about to be bulldozed into oblivion.

This is huge, isn’t it?

Huge enough to not be covered up by the foreign-policy events.

If the mainstream media ignores it, Romney/Ryan better keep harping on it. Ryan explains economic data better than anyone.
