		<description>&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;P Press release:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.standardandpoors.com/ratings/articles/en/us/?assetID=1245316529563&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here.&lt;/a&gt;

S&amp;P did not think our legislative process was up to the problems of serious fiscal reform.  Reid is part of that.

S&amp;P also said we failed to address &quot;key&quot; issues, like containment of entitlements, which the Democrats will never address other than by continued tax increases.</description>

		<description>One self made economic crisis after the next.  Government by extortion.  This Congress is in really really bad shape.  They are a dangerous mess.  They are not interested in governing, they want to bring down the federal government.

It is a credible claim to say that the Teatards in the House are the number one threat to the United Sates on the entire planet.  The OTHER terrorists in this world don&#039;t hold the levers of power that can crash the global economy.</description>

		<description>...that really it&#039;s not the GOP&#039;s fault when bad shit starts happening when they dig in their heels and declare that we will not pay our debts.  They can spew this propaganda all they like and will fare with public opinion no better than last time - probably worse.</description>

		<description>is that since he has been the Senate  Majority Leader the financial status of the US has continued to fall into the abyss. Thanks to his illegal non-action of taking budgetary measures the US has been downgraded from AAA rating for the first time in history. It doesn&#039;t look like it will be getting any better thanks to Reid&#039;s disregard for the rules he is supposed to uphold. 

The CBO will confirm this in due time much like their &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/attachments/03-16-APB1.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;2013&lt;/a&gt;  report of the deficit only getting worse.

Engineered? What else could it be?</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The House GOP has been in power only since January of 2011.&lt;/p&gt;

Two years out of the past six.

The Democrats in the Senate, the subject of the article, have been in control of that body since January of 2007.  The events discussed began in 2009.</description>
