United States Credit Rating Downgraded

Obama's proposal gave about $680 billion in cuts for those.

But they didn't happen. We can all say what was given and what was offered, but they are still right where they were before. We don't know the the true machinations of politics. I was open to "revenue boosters" from tax reform, so were most registered republicans. Even those congressmen who signed the tax pledge eased off with a similar easing from norquist.

Which is why Strike is lamenting how Boehner walked out...I think.

Well from what happened it looked like the Republican leadership wasn't open to those. Don't misinterpret me, I am not going to blame Republicans for all of our economic woes, but they were the wrench in the gears this time around and now our plan has been deemed inadequate.
