You know . . . . this shitstorm has been raging since 2007.

And it ain't getting any better.

Today's S&P downgrade was essentially saying, much to the joy of the teabagger types, "Fuck you America. You ain't crazy ENOUGH."

Meanwhile, the economy has been stuck on "Fucked" no matter what the administration tries.

Hey, I have an idea. Let's have a WPA type infrastructure investment.

Nah. That might might make life easy for some proles.

1. Not just no, but Hell NO!

Bush started this shit when he was RUNNING for his first term. He demanded our SURPLUS be handed back to the taxpayers, especially the rich, even though they did not really pay all that much taxes. Then he started two wars that he paid for with borrowed money. This has been going on since 2000.

5. Well, to take that all the back to the source . . . .

. . . . ya gotta go back to Saint Ronald's reign.

Bush's drunken sailor spending was the short term cause, but the turd didn't start to visibly circle the bowl until the housing market crashed. Hence my 2007.

3. Or, it is a reward to the teabagger types

for refusing to add revenues to the debt deal.

We all get to pay for that now.
