Thanks to the childish intransigence of Congress, this nation's credit rating has been downgraded. One cannot lay blame at the feet of any political party or person,
why not?
The tea party had their offer doubled with Obama's offer.. but it also included ending oil company subsidies and tax loop holes for corporate jet owners so they said NO... after that, it just went downhill from there.. and they took the rating of this country down with them..
which is what they wanted anyway..
