1. Where's Bush and Reagan?
Their policies with the enabling Congress built the foundation.

3. How about All of Us.
We elected these asshats, gave them the power to spend money without recourse and then look for someone else to blame.

We the people of the Untied States of America are to blame for our credit downgrade. We have given the resources of over 300,000,000 individuals to 535 to spend as THEY see fit, and then we complain when they don't spend it as we wish.

We are ALL equally to blame, Democrat, Republican, Tea, Green, Communist, Libertarian or whatever your party affiliation. WE ARE ALL TO BLAME.

4. Exactly right. And we can't ignore the Democratic enablers who
went along with Bushco and voted for the Iraq War and the initial tax cuts.

5. Both.
I blame the Tea Party for their hyperpartisan hostage taking, and the GOP for allowing the crazies to take control of the party.

Of course Obama is guilty there too.

10. I'll vote when it's been destroyed and not just lowered a notch by S&P.
