S&P downgrade is part of "drowning USA in a bathtub" - I am listerning to
wingnut radio in Atlanta and the callers are absolutely gleeful.

They want the federal government eliminated - no more Education, EPA, Health and Human Services, HUD, NIH, CDC, FDA, DOA, and DOE.

The crazies are dancing in rabid delight.

7. It's a non-event.
Maybe they will finally get a lesson in what it means to have a sovereign currency.

8. your dispassionate number crunching is growing on me.
I must say I kind of like it.

Now this may well be a "non-event" as you say. But its the political movement - the negative feedback loop I care about.

11. There will be no negative feedback loop.
Maybe the banks want to eliminate public spending and force everyone to borrow in private markets, but a growing number of people understand exactly how fiat currencies function and are prepared to take on the rentiers.

12. Fiat? So are you a "sound money" proponent?
An Austrian?

Its OK if you are. Just out of the Dem mainstream.

13. it's more accurate to say they are professionals - professional *provocateurs*
Nothing amateur about what is going on right now. This is a hit being conducted by paid agents of the banking mafia.
