Debt Ceiling and Credit Downgrade dominate Political Spectrum

Although an agreement was reached last week on the debt-ceiling crisis, the S&P downgrade of  U.S. credit standing has continued to spark debate on the matter. Monday, both KY Senators made headlines with statements on the issue, with Sen. Rand Paul deflecting blame from the Tea Party's role in the crisis and Sen. Mitch McConnell stating that not only the credit downgrade a possible good thing, but also that the so-called hostage taking strategy could be used again in the future. Here are the links:
