Gutsy Egan-Jones Downgrades U.S. After QE3

Egan-Jones, a private ratings firm, only recently attacked by the U.S. government themselves for their last downgrade of the U.S., did it again.

I’m not happy we are downgraded but their guts leave me breathless in a good way. [Check out the story if you are not familiar with the attacks on Egan-Jones by the bullies in the Obama administration.]

The Obama administration tried to Chicago thug them into silence with threats against their very existence and here they are, calling it like it is.

Egan-Jones downgraded the U.S. government debt to AA- from AA on Friday, citing the Federal Reserve’s plans to try to stimulate the economy.

The credit rating agency said the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds will likely hurt the economy more than help it.

Bernanke doesn’t know what else to do besides QE3, mostly because he is a Keynesian and they have few options. It’s bailout or a bailout and then there is always a bailout.

This is our second downgrade, something that has never happened in the United States before the first one. Now we have two.

Our economy is burning and the world is burning. Obama had no small part in it. He’s making me think Jimmy Carter wasn’t so bad.

Quote of the Week

“Tornadoes form below a class of severe thunderstorms known as supercells. Supercells feature intense upward moving columns of air that rotate, as the wind near the surface is drawn into those columns it begins to rotate and forms the tornado vortex. The damage attributed to tornadoes is caused by the strong winds in the vortex and flying debris.

“Oklahoma sits within an area of the United States commonly referred to as ‘tornado alley’ – this area is amongst the most frequent locations of tornado occurrence in the world. At this time of year, the warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool and dry air from above the Rocky Mountains come together to make tornado alley the perfect environment to spawn supercells and tornadoes.

“Preliminary reports of damage from the Oklahoma tornado suggest it was of EF-4 intensity, which is the second highest intensity rating. EF-4 tornadoes have wind gusts between about 265 and 320 kilometres per hour.”
