How long do we keep our AAA rating as Paulson loads us up with debt while helping out his friends?

[Cold Heat]

Governments rarely get downgraded unless they have problems with the government it's self, like a coup or whatever.

Governments can tax, and print money, and they have the entire country as a asset in a sense.

We will retain the AAA rating even into a bad recession, but a depression and civil problems would change that.
