S&P cuts Greece by three notches
S&P cuts Greece by three notches
S&P cuts Greece by three notches - MarketWatch SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services on Monday pushed Greece’s credit rating deeper into junk territory due to the “significantly higher” likelihood of default over the next year. S&P downgraded its long-term sovereign credit rating by three rungs to CCC from B with a negative outlook. S&P has a short-term rating of C. Greece’s access to market financing, under the current European Union/International Monetary Fund program, is “unlikely to materialize” and creates a gap between the committed official financing and Greece’s projected requirements, according to S&P analyst Marko Mrsnik. Click to Play Man vs. horseCould a horse beat a man in a marathon? A pub owner in Wales turned a barroom debate into an annual event: The Man Versus Horse Marathon. “Risks for the implementation of Greece’s EU/IMF borrowing program are rising, given Greece’s increased financing needs and ongoing internal political disagreements surrounding the policy conditions required,” he said. S&P, citing recent comments from government officials, said it believes some official creditors will see restructuring of Greek commercial debt as a necessary condition to additional funding. The downgrade, which knocks Greece down to the lowest-rated sovereign in the world, follows a pair of rating cuts by Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings in recent weeks. This is the path America is currently on with the unrestrained spending of the Obama admin, the one who is following what his appointed commision on debt recommend that America get on |

Sad to see - but the underlying issues of 'take from one group to support another', spend with no fiscal responsibility mentality, etc. has once again proven it does not work long term, and there are consequences for such actions.
Unfortunately the people's representatives in Washington DC seem, to a large degree, to be ignorant that the same path that has brought the worlds first democracy country to its knees, along with its citizens is the same one they tread. |
