All you say is true, but it doesn't matter. We need to make major structural changes to spending: defense, entitlements, taxes, medicare, medicaid, etc, etc else we are screwed. the downgrade was just a wake up call. political? who cares, we needed a slap in the face. we have become a nation of debt and entitlement on the left and on the right. i could care less about the politics of this stuff. it was you or someone else who quoted john kenneth galbraith's brilliant statement which we should all remember: "To see economic policy as a problem of choice between rival ideologies is the greatest error of our time." elmat brought the quote here.
