Scared Yet?

Here is a quote from today's Financial Times:

Amid reports that investors are starting to question the US government's AAA bond rating, the greenback slid to a new lifetime low of $1.3470 against the euro and a 12-year low of $1.9508 versus sterling.

How long is going to be until someone inside the beltway recognizes this as a problem. It's not the travellers (stupid). It is the place of the US economy in the international market.
