The U.S. S & P rating will be dropped from its AAA rating. The first article sums everything up that is easily understood. Coupled with the second article stating that China has summoned the American government for "secret" talks! Sounds as though our government is getting ready to go the to "woodshed" for a much unpleasant experience.

No wonder....the Chinese have been telling our government for the past two years to cut its debt for obvious reasons but our elected officials have ignored the warnings. It is not just one party to blame but both. A couple of weeks ago Nancy Peloci stated that there is "no" difference between the Democrats and Republicans but the one thing that both fear is the Tea Party.

What else is happening:

*****Approaching the highest gas prices ever.

*****Food prices have escalated approximately 35-40% over the last 18 months.

*****Gold at its highest.

*****Silver at its highest.

*****Copper at its highest.

*****Approximately 45-48% of Americans DO NOT pay income tax.

*****Republicans only got approximately 380 million in defiet cuts a couple of weeks ago instead of billions.

The US can not pay its interest debt now....wait when our credit rating drops and we get the higher interests, additonal taxes, and above all a much much lower standard of living and more people falling through the cracks to unemployment and welfare.

My question is what has the United States already bartered and is willing to barter to relieve some of this debt to the Chinese?

China had a trade DEFICIT in the first quarter of this year. ZOMG!@elevn.

The magnets must be reversing already.

But, to reallign them slightly, the 'AAA' rating was not removed.

There is no way to have a serious conversation on this board. We are simply too cutesy and clever.

Look, regardless of the forum where you find it your own intelligence should tell you that when you spend far beyond your means that you are eventually going to have to pay the piper. We can't keep printing more money to cover our debt. When half of the taxpayers are supporting the other half as well as themselves the house of cards has to eventually collapse. That's not spin.

The Tea Party has the answer...live within your means. There must be some painful and serious cuts soon to get through this crisis. I hope that we have the cajones and good sense to bite the bullet.

Two interesting articles out of China:

China and other countries that hold about 50% of all US Tres securities......dump them...push up interest rates & swell the national debt.

http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/us/2011-04/24/content_12383189.htm

China dumping debt:

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2011-04/23/c_13842843.htm

Two really interesting reads.....

It is too bad that one must read foreign papers to find out what is happening in the US.

Or just go to the drudge report and read improperly titled articles that are actually, if read through, just conjecture.

There are plenty of good US publications that have reported heavily on the US debt problems.

      The UT Athletic Department will just get treated as a corporation, saying funds received to it are voluntary, even if tax-deductible. And no politician will touch this, knowing how quickly they'd get hammered for hurting State U's football team and its funding.

      Transfer portal is killing P4 as well as G5

      You know, the playoff system to create a champion is better, but I still loved the way CFB was when conferences were regional, they had their champion tied into a specific bowl game, there weren't so many spare bowls featuring matchups that nobody cares about between 6-6 teams, and each season, the end of the year was talking about who had the better resume if this team loses or wins in their bowl game. I grew up loving the SWC and the Big Eight. Each year, the goal was to make it to Dallas or Miami and see where the chips fell. You were neighbors and friends with grads of those schools. I'm sure it was the same in the old version of the SEC and the ACC. It was just a fun time--and if things went great, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, or the Rose Bowl would be for a national title. But if not, you watched them all because the games mattered in the big scheme of it all and they were on all day and night on New Years Day, along with the Fiesta Bowl, and then, later, the Citrus Bowl for the ACC Champ. Its a bygone era, no doubt, but the games had great coaches all over the country and players we got to know over the years. Yes, there was plenty of cheating, and yes, the big boys controlled the game, but it was more fun. Whatever it is we have today, I feel sorry for people who think CFB today is more enjoyable to follow and support. They probably think we are olds that have Good Ol Day Syndrome and that is fine. I can't really refute any of that. But it was a sport I and many of my age (50s now) loved and followed intensely. Today, we are dropping out very quickly, as we see the farce the portal and NIL are making of this great sport. Very sad...

      It's going to be interesting to see how the taxpayers see this (for state schools, N/A for private). Similar to the concerns regarding spending local tax $'s to build NFL stadiums, using tax dollars to run a minor league FB team may stir some controversy. I may be wrong since I don't keep up with all of the latest media payouts, etc, but I think there's not a lot of schools that actually make money on athletics (and this is BEFORE we start paying them directly). https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/Finances/2023RES_DI-RevExpReport_FINAL.pdf If UT essentially starts running a minor league FB team out of the school and makes money, should the tax payers expect a refund or cut in taxes directed to UT? What if they're losing money?
