US Treasury Disputes Reality!

Treasury Dept: See?..the numbers you press determines the outcome. Now you try.

The U.S. Treasury Department said there is “no justifiable rationale” for Standard & Poor’s move to downgrade the nation’s credit rating" (Bloomberg).

Standard & Poor's boys and girls prepared their response with much practise of the historic 'swivel on this Benny and the Fed.' "We at Standard & Po' Boy can smell the difference between spread sheet fixin' and a Washington sewage plant. We lay all blame on the self interest, not-on-my-election-year political  non-system with it's guaranteed failure mechanism. They're totally incapable of adequately addressing deficit reduction of the required magnitude. Further more, the Treasury Department can blow that squackin' "we made a $2 trillion error' out their collective orifices."
