Many are in shock that the S&P downgraded debt of the US from AAA. Not me. It was long overdue.
However, the S&P proved it was incompetent in the way it made the downgrade. Pray tell how can a rating agency make a $2 trillion error? The answer is obvious: sheer incompetence.
The irony is Moody’s and Fitch proved they are incompetent by not downgrading U.S. debt.

Why do we take any notice of these clowns anyway after their performance leading up to the GFC?
