Should be around CCC, AA+ is generous.

I don't understand the sympathizers to our current fiscal policy. It's clearly not sustainable and should be rated accordingly. I'm surprised S&P had the stones. Good for them. Maybe they learned something after the whole rabS fiasco.

[somanyquestions]

Of course the hard-core socialist countries are going to have AAA ratings

it's only those countries that are more libertarian that no one trusts (because libertarians are stupid)

[Jahman]

I can't wait for S&P to come back with hard math showing they were right. Someone show me if I'm wrong but all the officials saying that they were off are politicians right?

And yet these countries have the best standard of living.
