          Delicious.



          Frankly I hope it gets much worse, and for a long enough period of time to wake up some voters, and put Republican heads on the chopping block in another couple of months. That should be a nice little reward for the budget bullshit.

              If you think about it the rating system itself is pre-school in nature.

                    the market is extremely oversold if you read charts. Today could be interpreted as a blow off bottom, a huge down day but higher close with extreme volume. the bottom would be confirmed by a move to 11660 on the dow.

                    expect a rally next week. Good luck.

                      why? investors, the banks and the markets loved the great ratings they gave all the shit mortgage backed securities at the center of the financial crisis which they were initially giving "AAA" status. At this point its like Al Sharpton accusing people of racism just to stay relevant.

                      Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

                        Looks like the United States won't be able to open an AT&T account without putting down that $500 deposit.

                            A credit rating downgrade is deserved. What do you think the credit rating should be of a person who has a 150% mortgage on their house, 10 credit cards maxed out and then goes and gets another loan because they want to buy another Hummer rather than just get a normal car ?

                            The US Government and the US Business Community can't keep borrowing more than it earns and expect the world not to consider it a credit risk.

                              the libby lib libs on MSNBC are tearing up the S & P, declaring their statement a political document. Nevermind that rating agencies jobs are to assess debt risk in the face of a runaway budget deficit that neither party wants to address. This is why the tea party is going to takeover the repubs, who cannot cut spending.
