Standard and Poor's downgrades US to AA+

if they'd put all their efforts into finding ways to increase hiring, we'd be far better off.

i called the honorable sen. pryors office today, which my husband said was probably a waste of time.
i told the lady who answered the phone that i was calling because of a line i'd read in the paper earlier today. that leaders in england were cutting their vacations short, and returning to handle the crisis with the looting, etc. i asked her why our leaders weren't doing the same.

i think i'll email bozeman and rep. ross, and ask them the same thing.

and what ever happened with this?

or was that all just a waste of time for the people involved? what's the point in having people work on something, if you're not going to use the results?

the reps have named the six members of the super committee....

which will now become a super waste of time, effort, with no reason to meet.

maybe, just maybe....lol...anyway, maybe they can at least do what is suggested in the article, tax reform and close loopholes.

you've got a party that refuses to touch the biggest part of future budget problems, and a party that refuses to look at raising taxes even on billionaires. now, without a bit of a move on both those issues, our problems will continue to spiral out of control.

That's why the automatic triggers were fought over so hard. Everyone knows they will end up the default. Watch for the GOP to try and protect defense with out-the-norm spending, so they don't take that much of a hit via the trigger.
