    Ok, D-Day is getting close.

    August 2nd will be the day for the US. Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal are going down.

    Man, this is gonna be some painful shit.

    US with 14,3 billion dollars debt. Obama said he can't guarantee pensions to people for the next month, like other social givings. Unless they bring a new law for BIGGER debts then the US will have to decide whether to fund pensions or to pay money back (not all of the debt) to China. And you know what, unless they bring the new law in, which they will not I think, they will pick China and their debt to return. Stock market seems bad, too.

    Good luck folks.

    EDIT: It's actually China holding the US securities, so it's a must-return for Americans.

    Obummer is a fear-mongering, traitorous piece of shit. He's only pulling a Bush and Hank Paulson by saying everyone is going to go broke if we don't raise the debt ceiling. It's such backward-ass fuckery that really is a nice microcosm of how idiotic this country has become and why it's going down. Social security and medicare are not at risk if we don't raise the debt limit in a few weeks because we have enough to cover those checks right now by selling bonds into the market.

    The whole, "we'll go broke if we don't go into more debt" is the most idiotic economic notion I've ever heard, and it comes from Keynesian clowns like usual.

    QE3 or something similar is on the way.


    Bernanke: Fed May Launch New Round of Stimulus

    Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Wednesday that a new stimulus program is in the works that will entail additional asset purchases, the clearest indication yet that the central bank is contemplating another round of monetary easing.

    No amount of spending is going to help us now since it HAS NOT WORKED ALREADY. They know this.

    So therefore, they're only purpose is to get their friends rich. Period. At our expense.

    Their heads should have bounced down the Capitol steps months ago.

    I may as well get ready to refinance my house, since the interest rates will now drop to -3% and they'll be paying me to take their money.

    But I loves that term "monetary easing". It appropriately sounds like the kind of preparation you'd put someone through before sodomizing them with a Buick.

    Here it is, guys. Sorry, but I told you so. Those who say we can "spend" our way out of this depression are the same folks that are causing the depression. S&P might have finally came to their senses with this report, making it clear that the problem isn't the coupon payments associated with the stupid debt ceiling, but rather we have no clear plan to pay down our debt as a nation. Period. And we won't, ever, because the government is inherently incapable of containing spending.

    09:36 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P PLACES U.S. 'AAA/A-1+' RTGS ON CREDITWATCH NEGATIVE
    09:37 15Jul11 RTRS-RPT-S&P PLACES U.S. RATINGS ON CREDIT WATCH NEGATIVE
    09:38 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P SAYS AT LEAST A 1 IN 2 CHANCE IT COULD CUT RATING
    09:38 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P SAYS POLITICAL DEBATE ON DEBT CEILING A SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY
    09:39 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P SAYS SEES INCREASING RISK OF POLICY STALEMATE
    09:39 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P SAYS COULD LOWER U.S. RATINGS WITHIN 3 MONTHS
    09:39 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P SAYS MIGHT CUT RATINGS BY 1 OR MORE NOTCHES IN AA RANGE
    09:39 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P SAYS BELIEVES RISK OF PAYMENT DEFAULT SMALL BUT INCREASING

    We may lower the long-term rating on the U.S. by one or more notches into the 'AA' category in the next three months, if we conclude that Congress and the Administration have not achieved a credible solution to the rising U.S. government debt burden and are not likely to achieve one in the foreseeable future.

    So if Obummer and his clown crew raise the debt ceiling, S&P will downgrade our credit rating. Why? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING LOGICAL! You can't spend your way out of a DEBT PROBLEM!

    And if the downgrade happens, then you start to have a shitstorm in the bond and CDS market.

    I agree with what you're saying but I hope you realize it has nothing to do with Obama. He's just a puppet and any other given president wouldn't change any shit there.

    So if America goes down, everyone goes down, right? Or am I thinking about different era here?
    Yeah, pretty much.

    Even if they raise the debt ceiling I doubt they will downgrade the credit rating. Why? Because puppets can't do anything to their masters.

    Stress tests today, confirmation of a systemic debt problem, 8 banks expected to fail, one or more of which may be German.

    The problems that Ireland faces are not just an Irish problem," said Mr Chopra. "They're a shared European problem."What we need and what's lacking so far is a European solution to a European problem."What's critical now is for Europe to dispel the uncertainty that's being created by the lack of what's perceived by markets as an insufficient response."

    The deputy head of IMF's Europe division said Ireland had a "good chance'' of getting back into the markets to borrow fresh funds by 2013.

    Our borrowing costs started to come down in March after the bank stress tests. However, due to problems in Europe -- and particularly in Greece -- they started to rise again.

    The IMF/EU/ECB team in Dublin declared the €85bn bailout programme to be "on track and well financed''.The bailout team said the deficit in the first six months of the year was on target and would end the year at below 10.5pc of GDP, which is what the lenders require of Ireland.

    Ireland has also met another target by appointing a new spending and tax watchdog, known as the Fiscal Advisory Council.

    Ireland will need to borrow money again in mid- or late- 2013, Michael Noonan said at a separate event yesterday.The Finance Minister said the State was determined to test debt markets in 2012 and that it probably had enough funding until the bailout runs out at the end of 2013.However, he admitted that the country would face a big hurdle in January 2014, when it needs to repay nearly €12bn in debt.
    On what fucking planet is a 10% deficit a good thing, Slash and Burn motherfuckers.

    If the U.S. and the EU27 fall, that's over 50% of the Global Economy, if they go, everything goes. And if the US has the renegotiate trillions of write-offs with the Chinese, well things are about to get 19th Century up in here.

    In Ireland, or Europe?

    It has to be downgraded. Look at their overall debt, they can't even control it, let alone pay it.

    What has to be done got nothing to do with this in my opinion, since I think those private organizations are in one ship with the government and people running it, and if they don't want they won't downgrade it is as simple as that. Puppets don't hurt puppetiers you know.

    Those credit ratings are a joke anyways.

    Yeah, those rating agencies are a bunch of cocksuckers. They rate junk bonds Triple A all the time and ask questions later. What was it, just this week Moody's downgraded Ireland to junk bond status, after all these years? Gee, what would we do without them. Useless financial terrorists.

    But still, these rating agencies move the market, and the market is more important than anything else. The market does the talking, not politicians who think they know something about economics. Most likely they don't.

    The annoying thing is that Ireland would be fine if we hadn't nationalised banking debts :depressed

    Irish Banking system recapitalisation needs:

    AIB -€13.3bn State Owned
    Bank of Ireland - €5.2bn About to be State Owned
    EBS - €1.5bn Subsidiary of AIB
    Irish Life & Permanent -€4bn State Owned
    Anglo Irish Bank- Defunct

    :weee:
