Trying to lend credence to this video by appropriating the USA Today logo is disgusting. You have no shame, you misrepresent the source and then highly edit your video to make your specious points. Typical right wing smear tactics. We, the people of Rhode Island, laugh at your lies.
Thanks to your ilk we have the Tea Party downgrade of our debt! What's that going to do to my country? You have the balls to call yourself patriots, you're traitors bought by the corporations ruining America!
@disrxt <--- MORON! Only a complete idiot would try to defend these bully tactics.
Do You even understand what the five point criteria is for a debt downgrade on a sovereign nation?
I bet not... Try S and P public data references to find out or watch the senate finance committee hearing on it that happened on July 27 right before the downgrade. No wonder obummer got in the chair in 08 he counts on your stupidity and you all sure came through for him. Why are we broke? watch?v=1RZVw3no2A4
@rachelabombdotcom The proximate cause of the downgrade was the Tea Baggers holding the country hostage with their terrorist threat to force a default. As a result of their traitorous actions the debt deal was insufficient in reducing debt. Tea Baggers refused to allow the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest to expire, the refused to even discuss raising taxes to reduce the deficit. They forced S&P's hand because they would not be resonable and raise taxes on corporations and the rich.
@disrxt Wrong... The downgrade came because there weren't any substantial cuts made in the weak deal that was crafted by both sides of the political aisle. I got my info right from S and P during the hearing that the 4 trillion in cuts and a coherent budget plan going forward as to how we would dig out of the rest of it would be necessary. Where oh where do You get Your info from? NBC? Huffington Post? With your fetish for teabagging I'd guess You don't get much technical info in the brain.
@rachelabombdotcom I get my info from the S&P statement on the downgrade. Maybe you should read it instead of hurling insult.
"Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act."
@disrxt See now aren't you glad I referred you to the report? lol I did not see where it says teabaggers were responsible though. Try watching that hearing I referred to for "context" and consider that house Republicans are the only people who have put forward a budget in the last 3 years that even comes close to addressing the problem. You aren't going to be fully informed without watching the hearing where S and P was questioned in depth on the debt rating.
Not just that but there is a back story here that most of you are missing. The US Govt. has made a move to negate the hold Credit rating agencies have on the market. The big 3 agencies control 90% of the business and make a lot of money. Recently through Dodd Frank Act the Agencies were decimated by legislation instructing SEC to use "other methods" to assess credit worthiness in financial institutions. No more power for CRA's Get it? You have to watch CSPAN to learn this stuff...
@rachelabombdotcom You keep watching CSPAN cupcake, you think this is the only place to get news? You need as broad a base of news as possible, no one tells you the whole truth, not even your precious CPSAN. Try listening to all points of view, read the WSJ, NYT, and LAT, watch the BBC, Al Jezeera, PBS, FOX, MSNBC, read history books for context, study, don't just pick and choose what reinforces your prejudice. Seem that what you do when you haven't even read the S&P report, that is just sad.
@rachelabombdotcom So you missed the Tea Baggers running Beonher? You missed Cantor dictating to the Speaker what he would and would not do? You missed the Tea Baggers crowing about how they kept the party in line to the secret agreements with Grover Norquist? I guess CSPAN didn't cover any of that.
I love my pit-bull. No, it has nothing to do with anything,but,I reserve my right to say it!! lonelystreet

@disrxt Really? lol Which part of the report mentions the teabagger? I must have missed it...
I sure don't need advice from You on how to round out my news exposure and I wouldn't wipe my butt with the NYT even if I had the runs.

@disrxt So you blame a condition of the debt on the tea party when the debt was built up over decades???
The downgrade was inevitable, based on the massive overspending.
