If The U.S. Government Loses Its AAA Rating It Could Potentially Unleash Financial Hell Across The United States
For decades, the U.S. government has had a AAA rating. On the scales used by the big three credit rating agencies, that is the highest credit rating that a government can get. Moody's scale actually uses lettering that is a little different from the other two big agencies ("Aaa" instead of "AAA"), but you get the point. Right now, the U.S. government is closer than ever to losing its AAA rating. The threat of a rating downgrade is going to continue to grow regardless of how the political theater that we are watching unfold in Washington D.C. plays out. The truth is that the federal government has accumulated a debt that is so vast that it will never be paid back. In fact, we are rapidly approaching the point when this debt will no longer be serviceable. If the credit rating of the U.S. government is not slashed right now, it will be soon enough. In fact, the truth is that the U.S. government is such a financial mess that it should have been done long ago. But whenever the United States does lose its AAA rating, we could potentially see financial hell unleashed because it will also mean that there will almost certainly be a wave of credit rating downgrades from coast to coast.

Was listening to the CBC last night and they were talking about if the USA loses its AAA rating then there is going to be a huge sell off of bonds. A lot of funds require that only AAA be held and they would need to dump it if USA loses its AAA. I guess it would be the start of an avalanche or a shit blizzard if you will.

Obama says time for debt plan running out
Rejects need for balanced budget amendment WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — President Barack Obama pressed for a “big” deficit-cutting deal on Friday but said he and Congress should at least get a “down payment” on cutting the budget soon.

Speaking at his second news conference of the week, Obama urged congressional leaders to come up with a plan within 24 to 36 hours and warned again of the consequences of a default on obligations.

“We are obviously running out of time,” Obama said. He said default would amount to a “tax increase on everybody.”

A fresh warning late Thursday from credit-ratings agency Standard & Poor‘s added to the urgency of the debt-ceiling talks. The firm said it put U.S. sovereign ratings on formal credit watch and that there’s a “one-in-two likelihood” that it could lower the long-term rating on the United States within the next 90 days.

House Republicans said Friday it’s time for Democrats to “get serious” and said the Republican-controlled House would vote on a bill next week to cut the deficit, cap spending and add a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

“We’re in the fourth quarter here,” House Speaker John Boehner said Friday morning. The bill would raise the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion and enact matching spending cuts.

The major problem that nobody has mentioned is the fact that instead of 1/3 of all our taxes going to service the debt, with higher interest rates, it wil be 2/3s of our money to pay the interest. This would be terminal for the country. We need to get the cancer out of Washington. Get rid of all th big government progressives regardless of which party they are in. Find candidates that believe in small (limited) goverment.

I am going to state the truth AGAIN over and over and over in these threads.

The FEDERAL RESERVE system is not the US of A Central Bank, it is the CENTRAL BANK of he CENTRAL Banks of this world, and it does maintain offices in this country. When a Chairman is appointed, he is appointed to a global position and not just the US of A.

I have proof of this, I assure you, I have been passed samples of what they do.

I can also say Saddam Hussein as of a few years ago, long after his supposed arrest and death, was also on the committee of 300 and signing papers for them. OK. and the committee of 300 signs an awful lot of the Federal Reserve papers.

Plus the QUEEN OF ENGLAND people.

Now since the Khazar Zionist Bankers of this world, those rockyfellers and rothkids, have really been bad managers, and own a lot of money, which they borrowed a huge amount from the very wealthy chinese dragons, the chinese dragon has taken over the entire Federal Reserve system and they pull the financial strings since early this year, actually a bit earlier.

Some of you read the suitcase story here on GLP. It's mostly true except the technology reveals was not on the level. The suitcase story is hwo they acquired the FED.

Now they are not paying for wars against their interests in this world. We went to Libya to steal ancient artifacts and ancient technologies, and you Christians, this stuff they wanted predates your OT.

Notice Libya is not on the new much lately, I suppose that is over now, thankfully. They did not win.

At any rate, this big bunch of shit on TV is related to the FACT the Chinese are not funding our shit.

Only a small amount of revenues to the actual treasury. YOU INCOME TAXES which is the stealing of your personal property, go straight to the FEderal Reserve as do all income taxes in this world under that system. our CORP US of A, borrows money from the global FED, and then YOUR TAXES pay that back and so far there is not enough to pay it back, not even the Interest.

You ones have allowed all of this by the way.
