re: #155 lawhawk
Just the talk of a default the last time chopping a percentage off the economic growth and a lower rating from S&P. An actual default would be far more costly.
The S&P really needs to not be coy the next time around. No more burying the blame of the GOP inside an explanation of their rejiggering the forecast model of future US debt. They should just come right out and issue a single sentence report that says the GOP is deliberately rat-fucking the US and world economy.
Wouldn’t be very professional but that’s the only way to get the truth out.
