No they don't.

They are thinking about it. And were threatened by the White House to not do it...

Oh wait they did.


Nice.

AA+ with NEGATIVE OUTLOOK...

That's a nice late gift for Obama...

Don't think this was the change Obama supporters where counting on.

Dang this guy is a huge embarrassment, almost on the Jimmy Carter level.

15 minutes ago they were considering it. Associated Press just reported the S&P officially downgraded the US credit rating from AAA. Monday should be an interesting day world wide!!

Reuters: BREAKING NEWS: S&P says can lower U.S. rating again in next 2 years if sees less spending reduction than agreed, higher interest rates, new fiscal pressures

So its a sure thing that it will be lowered again.

So are we going to see a run on the dollar?

I will say again, get your preps ready, the time to get ready is quickly disappearing.

Please...

This is the equivalent of being demoted from vice-president to treasurer by the 5th grade class president.

Do the members of ATS really take this seriously at all????


One hand washes the others, this is just part of the game. Wall Street will tank Monday and get propped right back up by the folks printing the money at the Fed, it's all part of the plan.

You guys surprise me...


Let's see if Black Friday was a typo and it should have been Black Monday.

~Namaste
