[quote=Arraya]Yeah Dave, I’m sure that S&P is full of people really trying to give their best analysis of risk unaffected by politics or money. [/quote]
I assume they’re affected by both politics and money, although I can’t really tell who’s pulling the strings here… after all, both the left and the right are spinning S&P’s report and downgrade into a “See, Daddy likes me best” argument. Both sides are pointing at the other saying, “Look what you’ve done now!”
What’s your position? That we should (1) spend more money, and/or (2) not raise taxes? Personally, I think less spending (particularly on defense) and higher taxes (particularly on the top 1%) makes all kinds of sense. But that’s just me.
