Fearing the negative repercussions of the Federal Reserve’s latest easy-money program, ratings firm Egan-Jones once again slashed the U.S.'s credit rating on Friday.
The latest downgrade brings the firm’s rating on the world’s largest economy down to “AA-,” which is three notches below the coveted “AAA” threshold.
I may be wrong, but I seem to recall one of the "economic messes" Obama inherited from President Bush was that coveted "AAA" rating.
Now it's been pissed away, along with our international standing, and our future.
