>Come on, you know very well what happened to the markets after the S&P downgrade.

Most people don't trade regularly, if they own stocks at all. (I believe 50% of people in U.S. own none). You're talking about a very small, very fickle group of people.

>People know what the deficit is.

I would guess that a significant percentage (greater than a third) don't, and much fewer have any idea why it is what it is.
