First you say we don't know when the government would get its rating back then you predict years. I think you simply don't know.

What we do know is that the Reid plan won't save the rating. It doesn't have enough real cuts. Boehner's plan might postpone a down grade until they see what is cut at Christmas but, we don't know that either.

4 Trillon in real cuts would be needed to protect America's rating come August second. If the tea party didn't exist that fact would still be true.
