  • S&P warns on US debt

    Rightly so. We need to fix this problem because if interest rates rise it will crush our economy.

    Ya, I'm holding way more USD than I'm comfortable with.

    S&P is just blowing smoke anyway. Look how them and Moody's were rating right before the crash of 08. They're just as big a problem as all the other elements of the market.

      Borrowing $.41 of every dollar you spend will crush the economy anyway, it will just take longer.

        Thankfully, it held off long enough for me to get squared away.

        But ya, it's about to go to poo.

          Hooray for the crisis. I want them to take away the AAA credit rating so it costs more to borrow. That is one way to force the assholes in Washington to stop their bullshit and take notice.

          The markets will plunge, shares will be on sale.

            Not according to Obama. According to him, if we want all these entitlements, then we're going to have to pay for them. They aren't going to fund themselves.

              You're still holding on to the idea that the dollar will be worth anything more than shit.

                It may not be worth shit but the dollar will still be the best currency to hold.

                  This was the recipe for home buyers for a long time and look how awesome that worked out!

                    Everyone in government that votes to borrow that much knows that this borrowing is not sustainable. I believe there is a concerted effort to crash our economy.

                      You would be correct, but it's not just our economy. They will be crashing all economies together.

                        All of the entitlements that he's trying to shove down our throats?

                          The ratings agencies are worthless, I agree. What's funny is to hear Managers earning 2 and 20 putting blame for losses on S&P ratings. Really, you are earning 2 and 20 and can't perform any more due diligence than that?!

                          Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                          You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                            A lot of people misunderstand the way the term "entitlement" is thrown around.

                              That would be like me blaming any dip in silver prices to a strong dollar. LOL!
