Neal Sampat : A popular discussion at the moment there's recent article projecting U.S. credit rating fallout as a result of the debt ceiling standoff.
Sloan Sabbith : Yes, I heard that on the news. No wait... I didn't. I heard about Casey Anthony instead.
Neal Sampat : Well that's where I jumped in. I said, "If I can balance my checkbook, why can't the government balance its budget?"
Sloan Sabbith : Mary mother of God am I sick of that insane analogy. Balancing your checkbook is to balancing the budget as driving to the supermarket is to landing on the moon.
