Ann Coulter: If Moody’s Downgrades America, ‘Darrell Issa Ought To Have An Investigation’

video
» 105 comments

As time slips by and Congress appears no closer to compromise on passing a budget, the threat of the nation’s credit rating experiencing a decline becomes far more concrete. On last night’s Follow the Money, host Eric Bolling appeared skeptical of the idea of Moody’s reducing America’s credit, and, sharing his “conspiracy theory” that Moody’s is colluding with Democrats to Ann Coulter, found her in complete agreement, calling for a House investigation if the credit rating falls.

Coulter began the segment defending her approval of the plan proposed by Sen. Mitch McConnell, which found less Republican support than perhaps he expected at first for being to yielding. Noting the “don’t call my bluff” comment Rep. Eric Cantor attributed to President Obama, Coulter argued that “this is exactly what the McConnell deal does,” putting the President’s name on spending cuts. “No elected politician wants to propose cuts because once you give treats to the people, you can’t take them away.” Bolling countered that the problem with the plan is that it proposed raising the debt ceiling first and cutting spending later, which seemed to him a fairly easy way for Democrats to put off the spending until later, but Coulter reiterated that “the most important thing is to get a Democrat’s name on any spending cut.”

Bolling then turned to Moody’s, adding lightheartedly, “I love conspiracy theories,” and labeling “Moody’s sitting down with the freshmen GOP” a conspiracy, proof “that Moody’s is in bed with the Obama administration saying, ‘hey, you guys, you understand what this means– if this doesn’t go through, if we don’t get the debt ceiling raised, it’s on your back.’” Coulter agreed enthusiastically, adding that she would like to see the Chair of the House Oversight Committee Rep. Darrell Issa investigate should Moody’s downgrade America “on the basis of the debt ceiling not being raised, even though we can keep servicing the debt.” The reduction in credit, argued Coulter, “is Moody’s not wanting to be investigated for what they did with Fannie Mae and the housing crisis.”

    Eric Bolling is a cable news clown. I include Matthews and Keith O. in that group. 

    The only people that should be investigated are the NO TAX fundamentalist House Tea Party. Grover Norquist has told them twice this week they could raise the debt ceiling and taxes but they wont. clowns.

    Yeah….I guess we just don’t spend enough money.

    So if we dont pay our bills or debt holders our credit will then be downgraded? Yeah, that doesn’t make any sense Ann.

    Watched a bit of Kraputo this morning, and you’d have to include him in the FOX Klown Klub. He kept commenting on how the it was a few minutes before 11:00 Hours, EDST, and the Republicans still had not arrived. A few minutes after 11:00 Hours, EDST, the Republicans still had not arrived, or so he said. He was excited, gleeful. About 11:15 Hours, EDST, he announced the first photos of the meeting would be available shortly. Apparently, the Republicans had gone in under cover. He was terribly disappointed. I think if the Republicans eventually cause us to default, he’ll frolic naked on Avenue of the Americas.

  • Republicans are Liars

    The Republican Party and its Tea Party wing are going to destroy the American economic system as we know it. These Tea Party people are exactly the same kind demographic that was drawn to National Socialism. (Please for those with weak intellects don’t get wound up over the term socialism. In this case it has nothing to do with left leanings.) Tea Party followers are economically disenfranchised. They are individuals trying to find some group or organization they can be a apart of which they feel gives them some type of power and dignity. The Tea Party people are easily manipulated by their leaders for the leaders speak to them in glittering generalities they can easily grasp. Except for the leadership, the rank and file of the Tea Party lack advanced educations and are more than likely to be students who ranked in the middle to lower part of their academic classes. Tea Party people are more than likely more religious than most. Again they find comfort in ideology that excuses how their life is in reality with a promise of a better life to come. All-in-all these misinformed individuals will listen to their leaders, who are truly master manipulators for big business. These leaders will shape a message that resonates supremacy of white, anglo-saxon protestants which resonates with the rank and file Tea Party person. However, it is truly a message which allows the corporate oligarchy to cling to its power.

    You truly have to be delusional to think that anyone can dicker with rating agencies.  But dream on.  Meanwhile all your savings will be downgraded, your present salary value will shrink and your savings will shrivel due to these stubborn people.  If you know anything about economics, you will realize that not only are our party Reps and Senators putting the US government in this vice, but your savings and mine will be mucked also.  The depression must look mighty inviting to these pols who walked out.  Besides our party charged much of the debt under GW’s two off budget trumped up wars.  The Dems are looking like patriotic heroes on this one and our party pols have painted themselves into a reckless position.  You can rant about Democrats all you like but the huge bulk of the debt accrued during GW’s two off budget wars and now all the mess has come home to roost.

    The HOUSE has done it’s job – several times, in fact – in passing legislation to solve the BIG GOVERNMENT debt and spending problem. But the d-cRAT socialist controlled senate and WH REFUSE to do anything constructive or specific. THERE IS STILL NO PLAN FROM OBOZO – just his usual vague platitudes and BS !!!!!!

    Cut, Cap and Balance remains as the only REAL solution to America’s BIG GOVERNMENT spending and debt problem, which is why it was passed by the HOUSE with bi-partisan support.
    Cut, Cap and Balance is to a lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist’s cherished BIG GOVERNMENT as a wooden stake is to a vampire.

    The irresponsible defeat of Cut, Cap and Balance by the Senate d-cRAT socialists shows, once again, that these lunatic-left extremists want only to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND and TAX, TAX, TAX America into another high-tax, low-growth, no jobs, failed socialist entitlement state like Greece.

    One can be certain that “YOU LIE!” obozo will do the worst possible things to inflict a petulant, spiteful, petty, mean-spirited revenge against those who won’t give him his beloved MASSIVE JOB-KILLING and ECONOMIC-GROWTH-STIFFLING TAX INCREASES, like stopping payments to the elderly, the poor and the sick and even defaulting on the debt – all without any real need to do so. Why? Because, as leftist TOOL mark halperin so aptly described him, he’s a “D-I-*-K”. I feel sorry for Speaker Boehner who has to try get this sanctimonious, demagogic, self-righteous and arrogant clown to do something constructive and beneficial for the country, which is clearly a thankless and horrifically difficult task.

    Moodys stated that even if the debt limit is raised, if the Federal government does not change it’s spending ways, they will be downgraded.

    One agency has already downgraded the bonds. Not one of the top three, but remember, what were the top three ratings for all those junk derivatives?

    I swear, Coulter, O’Reilly and a few other “supposed” conservatives are really beginning to surprise me with their ignorance.

    By the way leftists! I thought you believed in the separation of church and state.

    Sounds like you have the TEA Party and the Left confused. Polls showed that that TEA Party members were on average of higher intelligence and higher education level than the usual political parties. They are generally not the young students – students who have yet to experience life and common sense and who are more socialist inclined without development of critical thinking skills or enough foresight to have a grasp of the consequences of their ill thought out and shortsighted views/actions.
    Ahhhh Youth !

    Little known fact:

    When the housing market collapsed in late 2007, Moody’s, responded by purging analysts and executives who warned of trouble and promoting those who helped Wall Street plunge the country into its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Moody’s punished executives who questioned why the company was risking its reputation by putting its profits ahead of providing trustworthy ratings for investment offerings.["How Moody's sold its ratings - and sold out investors", by Kevin G. Hall,October 18, 2009]

    Housing Market??? Would that be Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac and Barney Frank, D-MA???
    I also question Moody’s and the Wall Street Bailout. Can anyone say Tim Geithner? Who appointed Tim Geithner to Treasury? (And he can’t even do his own taxes!)

    As much as I find Ann Coulter to be annoying and nauseatingly opininated, I agree with her. Once Issa’s finished charging Holder with the Gunwalker scandal and Impeaching Obama, perhaps he should look into Moody’s complicity in the debt crisis.  

  • Anonymous

    She knows a lot more than you do. She is a lawyer, talk show host, paid public speaker and author. I’d say she has worked more than “a” day in her life.

    That being said, I agree with you that Moody’s and the Banks should be hauled before Congress to explain their collusion and fraud. All appearances indicate they ARE playing politics!

  • Anonymous

    She didn’t say “don’t pay your bills.” She said “the most important thing is to get a Democrat’s name on any spending cut” because “No elected politician wants to propose cuts because once you give treats to the people, you can’t take them away.”

And some of them are so afraid to return to obscurity, they purposely stir the pot and light the fires.

    I just think it’s neat that she’s coming out very strongly for the McConnell plan and I’m not sure what Bolling is discussing. 

    I thought for a minute he was getting McConnell mixed-up with an aspect of “Cut, Cap & Balance”, then Coulter guessed he was thinking “Gang of Six”. By the end of that portion, Bolling really just seemed to be randomly spouting old Republican axioms and memes because he wasn’t prepared to to talk about McConnell, he wanted to toss barbs instead of having a civilized discussion and because he was so far lost, he just started flailing wildly at any words or phrasing that he recognized.

  • Sandie

    You service it by paying the interest on the debt first (therefore no default) then with the trillions of tax revenue left you pay what is necessary. Are you aware that while this debt mess has been going on and people are talking about limiting spending, the Congress has been passing more legislation that costs more money?

    We are not in default if the debt ceiling is not raised – that is Omama and the dems fear mongering. It was irresponsible for Obama to try to scare people with his lie that SS checks may not go out (notice he did not say “would not go out”) because they would, there is plenty in the SS trust fund for some time to send out checks. It is another OBAMA LIE.

    Your lack of wisdom and apparent lack of respect for the opinion of others seems to negate any impact your statements may have had. Your undisciplined mind is a waste. Where is your insightful commentary? I see no intellectual prowess displayed in your posts, just failed attempts at verbal bullying.

    It’s a shame that you couldn’t come up with a better argument for your side of the debate, and then you resorted to use of infantile terms like repugnants, tea baggers, and the like.

    You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? Following that gem of wisdom with a thinly veiled death threat and not so veiled insulting demolib talking point based garbage is just the icing on your cake of lies and deceit.

    Well done, you just shot yourself in the foot.

    Your ignorance is only exceeded by your belligerence and verbose load of stupidity. You have no idea what the Tea Party is or what the motivation of the Tea Party is. You made that apparent when you hit the Post As button on this boat load of barnyard drainage.

    I am a Vietnam Vet and I am completely amazed that you could be presenting yourself in this manner. The only one I know that has done like your example was John Kerry.

    You haven’t got any idea what the Tea Party is and you are just regurgitating what the left wing talking heads have said about them. There is no real original thought of your own involved in this post and I say that with confidence having been observing the left for the past twenty years.

    Every time a democrat gets elected to office they work as hard as they can to drain the treasury. The big difference with Obama has been his total break from all precedent and headlong charge to our national financial ruin. He is spending as much as he can and doing so at an unbelievable pace. In this current term he has quadrupled the national debt. He has presided over the administration that has exceeded the spending of every other administration since Washington – combined. That means add all the spending done by every administration from Washington’s first term to George W. Bush’s second term together and Barack has managed to out spend them all. Do you realize what that means and what an irresponsible thing it is to act that way with taxpayer’s money?

    When he assumed command he knew there was a big economic problem and he chose to spend and spend in the face of mounting debt. You can’t spend your way out of a deficit, but that did not stop Obama and his cronies from stealing as much as they could and rat-holing money with unions and other special interests so he could prevail upon them later for big contributions to his reelection campaign. It is clear that this is exactly what is going on and the only people who don’t see that are either willfully blinding themselves or they are just not informed enough to see what is going on.

    I’m not backing Ann Coulter but you have to be kidding me if you expect me to believe that stuff you just posted.

    What did you get on your SAT test? An ass print because you thought by the name you were supposed to sit on it?

    Too bad you can’t muster the self respect to restrain yourself from calling people names. This shows just how smart you really aren’t.

    Just what do you think is going on now?

    I have an idea – why don’t you lead them out of the country like a modern day pied piper? Don’t let the door hit you.

    So, I guess you fall into the 50% that are made up on the spot, heh?

    Look up Brooksley Born,the former head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, declared Alan Greenspan’s tenure at the Federal Reserve an unmitigated failure – to his face. Born, who pushed to strictly regulate derivatives under the Clinton Administration, but lost the battle to, among other people, Alan Greenspan, told the former Federal Reserve chair that his agency “failed to prevent housing bubble, failed to prevent the predatory lending scandal, failed to prevent the activities that would bring the financial system to the verge of collapse.”
    She warned all of them about the sub-prime loans, etc.
    movie at PBS…Brooksley Born,Frontline. But Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, told the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission hearing that “aggressive monetary policy in the wake of the technology bubble [that burst in 2000] contributed to the inflating of the housing bubble”.
    They should all be fired. No pensions, no health insurance. Get all the money the taxpayers paid them back!
    Instead of going to jail….(as a doctor would have to do if found guilty of malpractice) let them dp FREE public service. I can think of a lot of jobs for them to do!!!!!!
