Hello,
I read this by chance yesterday: http://opinion.financialpost.com/2012/08/21/u-s-worse-than-europe/
Of course, since last summer's fiasco of the debt ceiling debate such details aren't any surprise, but this is the first time I've seen a reputable paper put it in print..!
Other than the obvious concerns for the US, I can't help but feel concern for the effects austerity measures would have for international trade levels and what that does for everyone's job security.
The clincher is, what do you think will have to happen for US politicians to take the situation by the horns? In an election year no less..?
