S&P: Investors could lose $100 billion if US credit is downgraded - The Hill's On The Money

The problem is not S&P and it is not just one or another potential 'victim' should the budget force a credit downgrading.
The problem is how the finances are administered. Expenditures need to be cut to the minimum, not just because there never will be enough money to accommodate them, but because they are all fake, all illusions of very bad economics. Like the sub-prime mortgages that pretended that a family earning $10,000 a year could ever pay a $200,000 mortgage.

Raising taxes is not a solution either because the economy will be strangled beyond what it is already and people will not have any cash to make businesses prosper and let them bring prosperity to the country. Taxes can only be applied, directly or indirectly to the people.
There are no such things are taxes on corporations or taxes on businesses or on environmental hazards or this or that, only the people and that includes taxing the rich over and above what the government decides a rich person is.
The only solution is reduction on government and to stick to a limited government formula, letting the people decide what is good and what is bad and to let the market free as well as the people. It is really so sad that so much needs to be said about something that should really be a no brainer.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
