On the Democrats' side, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stressed "the need for a balanced approach to deficit reduction that combines spending cuts with revenue-raising measures like closing taxpayer-funded giveaways to billionaires, oil companies and corporate jet owners."


This is the leadership we get out of the Democratic party after the downgrading. More of the same tired tax the rich and attack the corporations.

I vividly remember when San Fran Nan demanded to be provided a larger military jet so that she and her family could be flown at taxpayer's expense, non-stop to her San Francisco home to avoid stopping to refuel a smaller and more fuel efficient jet.
