What am I missing? Where are the dots?

I don't know about the S & P/McGraw Hill conspiracy, but I do know that anyone who refuses to make payments on his debts is going to have his credit rating reduced. The US should not be surprised to be held to a similar standard.

There's a saying that a people get the government they deserve. I don't know that it's especially true, but at this point, the Teabaggers certainly have the government they deserve. I cannot believe how irresponsible Congress has been, playing the party line and idealogies to the complete detriment of the nation. The right wing has been the worst culprit in this by their refusal to re-instate taxes. They are like children who want something for nothing, and everything and everyone in this nation from education to the military to seniors to children suffer as a result.

Pfffft!
