Nothing did happen on August 2nd. The stock market DROPPED the day the big bad debt ceiling was settled. I've been saying for years on this site that we can't continue on our current course and even just quoted myself again in the investments thread blaming our politicians for it all. To further prove my point, we settled the debt ceiling problem and our credit rating dropped anyway. Don't you get it? It didn't matter. We are broke. Soon, our creditors will come calling and we'll have to cut our entitlement programs and since we've become an entitlement society, we won't give those up. I really think this will all lead to the U.S. either becoming an isolated country with few to no financial allies or we will go to war with China over all of this when we just decide to say "Fuck you, we aren't paying."
