After Downgrade, Blame Gets Passed Around

Fingers were pointing in every direction Saturday, a day after Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.S. credit rating. Republicans blame the Obama administration, the administration blames S&P's bad math, and S&P blames both parties' intransigence. Guest host David Greene talks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about the political ramifications of the downgrade and with Tamara Keith about what it means for the economy in the U.S. and around the world.

President Obama: FAA Shutdown a ?Washington-Inflicted Wound on America?

The President today urged Congress to resolve another impasse that is impacting our country’s ability to grow and thrive.

“And there is another stalemate in Congress right now involving our aviation industry which has stalled airport construction projects all around the country – and put the jobs of tens of thousands of construction workers and others at risk – because of politics.  It’s another Washington-inflicted wound on America, and Congress needs to break that impasse now so these folks can get back to work.”

Since Congress refused to approve its budget 11 days ago, the Federal Aviation Administration has been without the authorization to go about a portion of its daily business, which is costing taxpayers money and putting Americans out of work. The shutdown lifted the requirement for airlines to collect certain ticket taxes, resulting in a loss of $250 million in revenue so far that would have gone to a trust fund that helps pay for airport infrastructure projects. A shutdown through August could raise that total to more than $1 billion.
