Whats interesting is that S&Ps wants for the country match those of the republicans who didn’t get all the spending cuts they wanted and then a few days later the company dings the country’s credit rating. Sound like a private firm trying to steer the country’s politicial decissions much? Only time will tell, but it seems to me like the assholes at S&P are trying to force Obama to do what the republicans want.
