If it is true that S&P is wasting their breath rating the U.S. government, then it is also true that some random blogger is wasting their breath commenting on S&P's wasting their breath.


Fair. Based on the excitement and carnage from the downgrade, its great that theres a dialogue going on about the politics behind the situation, including the S&P's errors and what the rating really means.
