S & P downgraded credit rating of United States



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

S & P, which played a key role in the economic meltdown, has lowered the credit rating of the United States::

Standard & Poor’s announced Friday night that it has downgraded the sterling U.S. credit rating for the first time.

The move came even though the Treasury Department said that it had found a math error (a $2 trillion math error) in the firm’s calculations of deficit projections, according to a person familiar with the matter.

S&P decided to lower the AAA rating, held by the United States for 70 years, to AA+ after a bipartisan debt deal signed into law this week failed to assuage concerns about the nation’s growing spending.
Great work all around.

S & P already screwed us all over once. This time they were once again aided and abetted by the key players in DC.
