From Politics To "Economic Realities:" Wall Street Tanks, Moody's Issues "Negative" Outlook
With the stroke of a pen we've given ourselves the nominal right to borrow more money, but that doesn't fix anything.
The broad-based index fell for a seventh day and crashed through the key 200-day moving average in an ominous sign for markets. The seven days of losses mark the longest losing streak since October 2008. "It is going to be a long week," said Jim Maguire Jr., a NYSE floor trader at E.H. Smith Jacobs. "The bid is not here in the market." The selloff accelerated into the close as volume jumped well above average. The fall was broad-based, with four stocks falling for every one rising on the New York Stock Exchange. The index also broke through its 2-1/2 year uptrend line from its bear market low in March 2009. Thursday was the index's worst day in a year. ... Investors seemed to find little to cheer after the U.S. Senate agreed to a deal to raise the debt ceiling because of the possibility it will not stave off a downgrade of the U.S. government's triple-A rating. "Investors have made the shift from Washington to what I'm calling economic realities," said Fred Dickson, chief market strategist at The Davidson Cos. in Lake Oswego, Oregon.Credit rating agency Fitch said the deal makes the possibility of default very low, but the US must reduce its debt or face a downgrade. Moody's said likewise.
Moody’s Investors Service said the U.S. credit rating may be downgraded for the first time on concern that fiscal discipline may ease, further debt reduction measures won’t be adopted and the economy may weaken. The U.S., rated Aaa since 1917, was placed on negative outlook, New York-based Moody’s said in a statement today as it confirmed the rating. Moody’s warned on July 29 a negative outlook was “more likely” as lawmakers reduced the size of spending cuts being negotiated to win approval on a plan to lift the nation’s borrowing limit. ... “A downgrade is a sign that Congress is failing to address a real fiscal issue,” Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia, said in an interview before the announcement.Consumers were already forecasting a downturn in June, by cutting their own spending. Unexpectedly, of course.
Consumer spending unexpectedly fell in June to post the first decline in nearly two years as incomes barely rose, a government report showed, suggesting economic growth could remain subdued in the third quarter.Um, "remain subdued" is a rosy scenario. It was already weak and with the adjustment of the first quarter's figure to a near-recessionary 0.4% GDP growth, "subdued" growth is the upside. This is sort of an unrelated point, but I've seen liberals strain to make the case that Bush was really responsible for the increase in debt the past 2 years. I don't know how they get to that claim, exactly. But even conceding they're right, then what they are saying is this: Bush spent irresponsibly and even recklessly. (You don't have to argue long with conservatives to get that much conceded.) Now, Bush having accumulated several more trillions in debt than he ever should have, Obama's response is to... pile on another $5 trillion? What is there some kind of free $5 trillion rule, that every President gets $5 trillion in debt? If, as Obama said when he voted against a Bush debt ceiling increase in 2007, Bush was burdening the country with unconscionable levels of debt, what the hell exactly is Obama doing adding another $5 trillion (in just two and a half years!) on top of the burden already accumulated? That's like a general brought in to replace one who'd gotten 10,000 men killed who then turns around and employs a similar strategy to kill 30,000 men, and then says, "Hey, the other guy did it, didn't he?"

He or the government cannot create jobs.
As a matter of fact - Obama's government has thrown
up the Marxist regulation barriers so high that most companies are saying "fuck this".
Look for things to keep getting worse as Obama tries to "fix it".
For god's sake why doesn't someone march into D.C. - go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. - point towards the White House and say "there is where your problems begin!".
Rick Perry needs to get on his white horse and start roping him some democratic ass to slaughter.

Based on recent sales in my neighborhood, Zillow cut the estimated value of my home by ~$10,000 last month. Like I'm gonna go out and spend my ass off after taking that kind of a hit? I spend money based on housing equity. Lots of equity, spend money. Home losing value, pull back spending. It's just that simple for a huge percentage of working Americans with homes.

"A series of weak economic reports and poor earnings reports from
several big companies spurred the market decline.
The Commerce
Department reported that consumers cut their spending in June for the
first time in nearly two years. Analysts had predicted a slight
increase. Incomes also rose by the smallest amount since September,
reflecting a weak job market.
The news came one day after a weak
manufacturing report. And last Friday, the government said that in the
first half of the year, the economy grew at its slowest pace since the
recession ended in June 2009."

The problem is not unlike the beginnings of the Great Depression - there is a lack of capital. Banks are terrified of making anything but a "sure thing" loan, while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are still handing out high risk home loans that are in danger of defaulting.
The Obama Regime has terrified the holders of private capital, and they are not investing or spending. And now the downward spiral willhit another downward loop, which makes it even harder to climb out of this hole we have dug for ourselves.

But they survived.
Right now, downstream of the Fannie/Freddie/Everyone Else mess, we should have a few dozen ratings analysts and their executive management strapped to a wall, with a booth nearby that for $10 will rent you a pair of Channellocks to remove one organ of your choice.

If SP doesn't kick us in the nuts we might last a year. If they do, we might not make it to Christmas. Thankfully Moody's waited till after close to kick us in the junk, and let everyone calm down and think about it. It could have been real ugly.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but how does 2.5T in cuts over 10yrs help when, if you don't take into account the 7% rise in baseline, when we are spending 1.5T per year more than we collect. Now I ain't no mathamagician, but it seems if we keep running 1.5T deficits, after 10yrs we have accumulated 15T in new debt, and when the 2.5T in cuts is subtracted , we have still increased the deficit by 12.5T.

Well remember Moody's waited until after close. The market was still *ahem* anticipating or betting on what Moody's (And SP) were going to say. Knowing that they were both late in downgrading anyone in the eurozone.
Anyway. Tomorrow morning the real adjustment to the reality of Moody's statement will happen. I predict at least another 150 loss for the day. Unless SP breaks their gag order, in which case all bets are off.

Yeah, well if Pauly Krugnuts got his way and taxes were raised, the real slide would begin.
The problem is not unlike the beginnings of the Great Depression - there is a lack of capital. Banks are terrified of making anything but a "sure thing" loan, while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are still handing out high risk home loans that are in danger of defaulting.
The Obama Regime has terrified the holders of private capital, and they are not investing or spending. And now the downward spiral will hit another downward loop, which makes it even harder to climb out of this hole we have dug for ourselves.
And to top it off - The banks have to deal with Frank-Dodd the financial equivalent of that ObamaCare is to the healthcare industry. Frank-Dodd will put hundreds if not thousands of small banks out of business. They will be selling out to the big banks for pennies on the dollar. The whole idea is to consolidate power. All of these bills need to be repealed. Vote the socialists out.

CNN just had an interview with a bond ratings guy from a company that rates bonds for institutional investors which has moved the US to 'AA' status. I don't see how SP can't possibly downgrade since they were talking about 4 Trillion in cuts.
Which begs the question, since most of the cuts were years from now, why didn't they just add on a bunch of 'cuts' to make everything look fantastic? No Mars mission - I just saved us $2 Trillion dollars!!

It was all a song & dance - just like when Obama said Granny might not get her check.
The democrats were pushing the rating agencies to spread the meme that if the debt ceiling was not raised then America would "default". We would have only defaulted if Obama held the interest payments. America gets $200 Billion per month in "revenue"/ The interest payments are about $20 billion per month - you do the math. The problem is America spends about $350 Billion per month.
We have to borrow 43 cents on every dollar we spend.....How long do you think this will last?

Well, not quite. NASA still has a mission, except that the target is now Space Mountain in Disney World. While a Mars mission might cost over a trillion dollars, they estimate they can visit Space Mountain for less than 500 billion, so it's a bargain.

I thinking about issuing an executive order (thus avoiding expensive legislative preparatin costs) that all employers must hire at the baseline budgeting rate of 8% per year. That will bring the unemployment rate down to 1.2% immediately in the first year alone. The next year we will need 6.8% more illegal undocumented workers to fill all those jobs that there aren't enough Americans to do. Every year, it just gets better and better!Noe back to the important stuff, should I really use a 9 iron on this hole?

The Democrats fly this woman in on a gurney and allow here to cast a vote on the debt ceiling. After Giffords cast her vote she is on a plane back to Houston for more "rehab", which i imagine includes putting together 5-piece jig saw puzzles.
If Gabby Giffords were a Republican, Debbie What'sHerSnatch-Schultz would be demanding a special election for her congressional seat as soon as she became head of the DNC. And YET, we have MORONS at this site demanding RESPECT for the dog-and-pony-show that was the Giffords vote!
We are in a WAR, people! Your adversaries are free to label YOU Nazis, terrorists, kidnappers, and extortionists with umbrella coverage from the MSM.

Ace, Obama already admitted that he's a hypocritical lying fuck when he said that, and that he didn't really mean it, and that he would have voted to increase the debt ceiling if his vote actually mattered.
So I think it's petty of you to hold it against him. It's just words, after all.
