Senator Grassley: S&P downgrade a "wake-up call," but has not read it

Sheesh, at least try and make an effort to follow the issue, Chuck. This is from the same brilliant senator who thinks that Americans living abroad should pay taxes in the US because they're getting a free ride, somehow (even though we're already paying taxes in the country we live in). ThinkProgress:

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) piled on the following day, calling S&P’s move a “wake-up call for Congress and the President to take meaningful action to reduce deficit spending and the resulting debt.”

ThinkProgress spoke with Grassley at the Iowa State Fair on Thursday to get his further thoughts on S&P’s criticism of Republican stubbornness. However, before we were able to ask the Iowa senator about S&P’s recommendations regarding our nation’s fiscal dilemma, Grassley made a startling revelation: he has not even read the report.
