The S&P gave fair warning, the .gov didn't take it seriously.

I don't know why anyone pays any attention to those assholes. What in the hell have that got right in the last 10 years? They have missed all the big scams and failures as far back as ENRON. They are a board made up of a few dozen morangs who have no more idea what's happening than anyone else on Wall Street.

Was listening to D. Trump on CNN this morning and he said basically the same thing. Why anyone listens to these morons is something I don't understand.

As painful as this will be, the downgrade was long overdue. Hopefully Washington figures this out quickly.

Enron - Miss
Mortgage Companies - Miss
Lehman Bros - Miss
European weaknesses - Miss

BTW, the people who are pissed at S&P are the Chinese. So many bought securities today it drove the yields down

That will make their false devaluation of their currency w/r/t the dollar more expensive now.
