    Fitch downgraded the United States' top-tier credit rating by
    a step on Tuesday, citing a growing federal debt burden and
    an "erosion of governance" that has manifested in debt limit
    standoffs.

    The decision sparked a fiery rebuttal from the White House,
    with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre saying the move
    "defies reality."

    Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a separate statement
    that she "strongly" disagreed with Fitch as well, calling
    the change "arbitrary and based on outdated data."

    . . .

    Usually, the very ones who CREATED the problems are
    the first to piss on anyone taking NOTE of said
    problems ....

    And that's what we're seeing here.

    Oh, forget your "Red"/"Blue" Press Bias shit about
    this story - it's not a US source, a big enough
    thing to make the foreign press .....

    It's common to take away the passport at arraignment, which means
    this his last trip to Scotland to an honour guard he hires himself.

    The debt is the Republicans' fault.

    Inflation is already at Fed target.

    It is below the long term historical average.

    Unemployment remains low at under 4%.

    Fed cuts have not pushed us into a recession.

    Interest rates remain in historical low range.

    The housing market is hot.

    Manufacturing is hot.
