I tell you, the Marshall Plan nor the Berlin Airlift counted for much with these guys....Jesse's translation of a German rating agency's downgrading of US debt. Ingrates. jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com 08 June 2011 European Credit Agency Downgrades US Credit Rating from AAA to AA Here is my rough translation of the original Feri stuft die Bonität der USA herab. "Man muss manchmal in den sauren Apfel beißen." The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustained recovery. Feri Downgrades the Creditworthiness of the United States By Harald Weygand Wednesday, 06.08.2011, 08:56 Homburg, 8 June 2011 - The Bad Homburg €uro Feri Rating & Research AG downgraded the first credit rating agency's credit rating for the United States from AAA to AA. Feri analysts justify the downgrade by the continuing deterioration of the creditworthiness of the country due to high public debt, inadequate fiscal measures, and weaker growth prospects. "The U.S. government has fought the effects of the financial market crisis primarily by an increase in government debt. We do not see thank that there is sufficient attention being paid to other measures, "said Dr. Tobias Schmidt, CEO of Feri Rating & Research AG €. "Our rating system shows a deterioration in economic health, so the downgrading of the credit ratings of U.S. is warranted." For the third consecutive year the deficit of the United States is in double digit percentages relative to gross domestic product (GDP). "Deficits of such magnitude are not a sustainable fiscal policy. We would reconsider the rating when the U.S. government creates a long-term sustainable budget," said Schmidt. Feri Rating is listed on the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) as an EU credit rating agency approved and created with more than 20 years experience in sovereign ratings. Every month, the Feri analysts evaluate sovereign credit ratings from the perspective of a foreign investor based on the ability and willingness of countries to repay their debts. The credit ratings have eleven possible gradations between "AAA" (best credit) and "Default".
