ParticipantU.S. eventually losing its AAA rating
I think it is meaningless to attach a rating to paper issued by treasury. Treasury can always exchange it for $ at Fed and pay back the creditor. It is better to think in terms of value of currency when rating national debt. Going by the value of $ as measured by oil (or grain or steel etc.,), global markets are already rating it less than “AAA”.

ParticipantCalifornia school districts ending or reducing bus service for students
Unlike most other states, California does not require districts to provide home-to-school transportation except in limited circumstances.
The high cost of fuel and budget shortfalls are being blamed. But some fear that forcing more students to walk or drive to school will cause safety problems.
Thousands more California students will have to find their own way to school this fall, as districts slash bus routes to cope with budget shortfalls and high fuel costs.
Critics worry that the cuts will increase traffic around schools, shift costs to parents already struggling with rising gas prices and prompt more absenteeism, hurting students’ academic achievement. But paramount is the fear that the reductions will endanger students as more walk or drive to school.

ParticipantI am shocked that a smart guy like Obama has not started harping on the economic pain the future holds for this country and how he would help to reduce it. Instead of all the happy talk abroad if he had memorized that fine essay by Pat Buchanan and started singing the “it is the economy stupid” line, he might be in double digit lead. That he can’t even learn from Bill Clinton’s strategy to defeat Bush 41 paints him in poor light.
At this rate, McCain can win just by playing the “I am a war hero” and “he is not even a proper/real American” line.
