El downgraded de US por parte de S&P le da todo el derecho al House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan de decir "se los dije"
Aun cuando Obama daba la vuelta victorioso por haber obtenido el aumento del limite de la deuda, Ryan seguia insistiendo con la fria, dura realidad de los problemas economicos que se presentan en el futuro - verdades que un nervioso Wall Street ya sabia.
En una columna en el WSJ, el republicano reitero, por supuesto, que el presidente no tenia un plan elaborado/
"El presupuesto del presidente de Febrero", "deliberadamente ignoro las decisions necesarias para confrontar la amenaza del gasto excesivo del gobierno. El plan fue completamente rechazado ed manera unanima en su propio Senado controlado por su propio partido"
El presidente sabia entonces como sabe ahora que su ObamaCare y su agenda de beneficencia demanda nuevos y mas altos impuestos, que el costo de Medicare y Medicaid continuaran aumentando a niveles insostenibles y que el no tiene un plan para solucionar ese problema.
De hecho, cuando se le presentaron las opciones por el comite que el mismo nombro, Obama continuo en estado de negacion.

From a Boston Herald editorial, Aug. 7:
Standard & Poor's downgrade of the nation's credit rating gives House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan every right to say "I told you so."
Even earlier this week when President Obama was taking his victory lap for the debt-ceiling compromise, Ryan was disclosing the cold, hard truths of the economic troubles that lie ahead—truths that a jittery Wall Street has been more than aware of.
In an oped column in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, the Wisconsin Republican reiterated, of course, that the president really has no budget plan.
"The president's February budget," he wrote, "deliberately dodged the tough choices necessary to confront the threat of runaway federal spending. It was rejected unanimously in a Senate controlled by his own party."
Well, so much for that auspicious beginning. The president knew then and knows now that his health care and welfare state agenda demand new and higher taxes, that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid will continue to rise at unsustainable levels and that he has no plan for dealing with that.
In fact, when presented with options by his own debt commission appointees, Obama continued to be in denial.
