I only agree with the first part of that statement. It's
still meaningful when they downgrade stuff. -g-

Moody is a tool. We are playing financial games by downgrading
our creditors to get safety inflows into government bonds.
This worked well in the 90-s and even worked somewhat in 2008
to bounce the dollar, but I believe the point is
close when our foreign creditors just say FU, F Moody's,
S&P, and Fitch. At that point we are f$%ed and chit hits da
fan.
