Re: S&P downgrades the US's credit rating...due to the SIZE of the debt.
"The size of the debt is only part of the problem. The major problem is the dysfunction in Washington and S&P’s belief that down the line we won’t be able to carry through any more reductions in debt due to that dysfunction."
And those reductions are needed because we're 15+ TRILLION in the red. The size of the debt has EVERYTHING to do with it.
