These tea[I]persons[I] took our country to the brink of default just so they would get their way. Like a bunch of spoiled, ignorant brats. Economic terrorism if you ask me. And the country was the hostage. this is NOT how a democracy works. Total disregard for our country or how the world works. S&P stated that this 'brinkmanship' was the reason for the downgrade. They created this crisis and now we all have to live with the consequence. And they will do it again. Successful terrorist always repeat their actions.
You don't think that a deficit that equals the country's annual gross domestic product, with absolutely no significant attempt to keep it from reaching 110%, 130% or even 200% in the next decade, had anything to do with it? You're smarter than that aren't you?
