Despues de leer esto me parece que S&P tienen una buena base para haber tomado esa medida:

"The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America's governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy."

Medicare and Social Security must be reformed:

"the plan envisions only minor policy changes on Medicare and little change in other entitlements, the containment of which we and most other independent observers regard as key to long-term fiscal sustainability."

S&P doesn't care if the "balance" comes from more revenue (taxes) or more cuts:

"Standard & Poor's takes no position on the mix of spending and revenue measures that Congress and the Administration might conclude is appropriate for putting the U.S.'s finances on a sustainable footing."

The downgrade was due, in part, to a belief that the Bush tax cuts will remain. Previous projections treated them as expiring:

"Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act."

#5, #10: Radioactividad natural??

In early April, the government of France advised that pregnant women and young children avoid milk, soft cheeses and leafy vegetables. No such missive came from the U.S. government - and Western Europe has been receiving only 5% of the fallout that has blanketed North America.

Yesterday Counterpunch published an article by two doctors on the spike in infant deaths in the U.S. since the explosions at Fukushima, a spike which mimics infant deaths in Europe following the Chernobyl disaster.


A mi me parece todo un poco antinatural...

Que barbaridad... Es increíble el poco valor de la vida humana en estos países. La única esperanza que queda es que como resultado de todo esto nos empiecen a dar asco los poderosos (que no los que gobiernan, esos ya la dan), les perdamos el respeto y empecemos a reclamar lo que es justo para el pueblo. Puede que con el tiempo todo esto de sus verdaderos frutos.
