Following the debt ceiling crisis in Congress, many financial companies such as S&P 500 downgraded the US governments credit rating. Many people do not realize what exactly this downgrade actually means. However, people do know that this was brought around by increased government spending in the past few decades. This downgrade can have various affects on the future outlook of he United States' economy as well as the well-being of American citizens. An effect for the American people would be that a credit card company could judge you as to big a credit risk, and will not allowed you to use them. Some effects on the government would include having to pay higher interest rates, which would then increase the amount of government spending. Ultimately, something must be done to get the US government its AAA credit rating back, as well as there must be something done to decrease the national debt.

Today's the one month anniversary of the creation of the Occupy Wall Street protest. It is seen as both a nuisance and a a phenomenon.

Stocks of the Week- Google Continued

Nearly a week following the release of Google Plus, Google's stock was down 1.3 points today, which arises the question regarding how people view Google Plus. After originally having its stock have modest gains immediately following Google Plus's release are people beginning to not accept it as much as Facebook? It looks to be that way even though you would expect a site very similar to Facebook, but with one key benficial difference, the ability to group your friends together, would help a site like Google Plus a lot. However, it will be a tough challenge for Google Plus to make it up to the level of both of the leading social media service providers, Facebook and Twitter, as these are household names which are commonly used by members of the younger generation. However, it is still possible that although Google was down today that may not affect how popular Google Plus is.

Stock's of the Week- Google

Recently the stock exchange market has fluctuated a great deal as due to the companies treating the stock market as a mood ring as opposed to actual company value and growth.

The effects of the American government involevment in Capitalism

When the stock market suddenly dropped in the fall of 2008 the American government immediately jumped into helping bail out many large companies which were beginning to fail. Examples of these actions include the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well as the government takeover of General Motors. This then caused the stock market to drop even further as now people began to realize that we were in the worst depression since the Great Depression. Following the Obama Administration taking office the new President and many of his Democratic supporters in Congress passed a stimulus package worth $787 billion. However, today in 2011 these supposed economic benefits the package promised are yet to be seen. This was an extreme waste of money because since it ha not gone as planned Americans are still losing jobs that are being outsourced to foreign nations. Also by this failing the economic status of this package failing the United States risks falling even farther into bankruptcy as it has recently been downgraded from a Triple A credit rating to a Double A credit rating according to the S&P 500. If the Obama administration continues to spend money then sooner rather than later the United States will end up in a similar situation as Greece.
