Seems to me that you need to tell us exactly what was done by the Tea Party to hurt the US credit rating. The facts that I know to be true show that S&P said they would downgrade if $4 billion in spending was not cut. The Dems blocked Tea Party efforts to achieve that goal.
So, it is now your turn to put up or shut up.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
