S&P downgrades US debt to AA+ - FT.com
Wow!!! This has to be the most stupid decision made by any Rating Agency.
Reminds me of the time when rating agencies gave a country with a population of more than a billion, an army of more than two million, the world's largest producer of gold, the world's factory with one of the most entrepreneurial societies in the world - a risk rating significantly lower than for a country with a population of around 300,000 and whose only export was fish.... I'm sure we all remember Iceland!
