Downgrade could come as soon as Friday
The day of reckoning looms even closer: Credit rating downgrade for the U.S. government could come as soon as Friday. Key quote:
It’s not the debt ceiling that’s triggering a potential ratings change — it’s the trajectory of debt generated by the federal government.
And this:
The problem, as [the ratings agencies] see it, is not that America can’t pay its debts next month, but that America has grown its debt to such a degree that we can’t pay them in the long run without serious restructuring of the federal government — and this administration refuses to consider it:
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

i think both talks last night were horrible . it doesn’t seem like they even tried to explain themselves and counter each other’s arguments . obama has to know everyone says he is growing the government so huge he didn’t try to explain why that has happened at all . boehner just said we just stop spending cause we can’t afford it . they said the same stuff nothing new no attempt to listen or respond to the way the other side characterizes them or explain why they are doing what they are doing . i tend to think getting out of debt is not so simple as just stopping spending too much i think sometimes you have to make strategic investments and resctructure to keep the engine going . i heard someone say governent should run like a business , to suggest a failing business simply needs to cut its spending to be successful doesn’t make sense . once again i wish eveyrone would listen to senator coburn he was informative on meet the press
