Would capital one raise your rates if you paid on the 30th when your bill was due on the 31st?
Fuck the S&P holding the US hostage like this. Where the fuck were they when CDOs where getting AAA ratings and they were about as safe as a AIRAB infected tranny.
How the fuck can they give them a AAA rating and then downgrade the US when nothing has even happened (or will happen when the deal gets signed)
Or we could try something different for a change and let the recession run its course. They are a necessary part of the business cycle. Let the losers fail. Let the winners win. 3 years of massive government deficit spending hasn't done dick. Did you see the last GDP report? We are deficit spending 12% of GDP and it translates into ~1% growth? Wow.
